Headlines: Deepening Jet Fuel Crisis, Increasing Food Prices, and Upcoming Strikes

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

In this episode we're following up on the jet fuel crisis and train travel options. We're also talking about how the jet fuel crisis could be affecting food prices in Italy. And, as always with our headlines episodes, we'll tell you about upcoming strikes that could affect your trip to Italy. Travel insurance could potentially be helpful in the case of canceled flights or trains, but it's also important to know that Europe has protections in place for flights that are canceled (this means European carriers and flights flying out of Europe). If you'd like to here more about your rights on flights, listen to our episodes "Know Your Airline Rights: Part 1" and "Know Your Airline Rights: Part 2" on ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠, ⁠Spotify⁠, or wherever you listen to podcasts. If you're looking for travel insurance, a good place to start is with World Nomads Travel Insurance* and Travelex Insurance Services*, both have several options for insurance and can provide a quick quote. *These are affiliate links, we do not represent these companies. If you receive a quote or book services through these links, we will receive a small commission from the company at no extra cost to you.
