Yes - You do not need to fill out the following. Instead, please have your travel agent complete the Agent form on page 11.

No - Please fill out the table following for any arrangements that you booked yourself. If any of your travel arrangements were booked by a travel
agent, please have them fill out page 11.

You only need to complete the following for travel arrangements being claimed that were not arranged by a travel agent.
Your policy covers you for amendment or cancellation, whichever is the less (subject to policy limits and the terms and conditions of the Product
Disclosure Statement). Firstly you need to work out how much it would cost you to amend your journey (e.g. to travel at a later date) compared to the
non-refundable amount you wont be able to get back if you cancel the journey. In most cases it is more cost effective to amend your journey rather
than cancel it. If you have not made any changes to your travel plans yet as a result of a potential claim under this section, please phone us and we
will guide you.
