Travel advice tool
The travel advice tool was developed by the Data Analytics Centre of the Dutch Association. This web application shows the travel advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on a map. For each country, you can filter the travel advice by date. This way you can see which advice applied in a certain country/area in a certain period.
The travel advice tool has been developed for insurers that are members of the Dutch Association. Do you work for an affiliated insurer and are you logged in now? Consult the travel advice tool.

Travel and crowds at Schiphol
What does travel and/or cancellation insurance cover?
Cancellation insurance or travel insurance does not cover damage caused by the crowds at Schiphol. The Association advises affected travellers to contact the airport, airline or the travel organisation concerned to see what they can do for you.
Because of the crowds, it is wise to be at the airport well in advance and to check the flight information regularly. If possible, check in in advance. That saves another queue.
Is the airline cancelling your flight? Then you are entitled to a replacement flight. If the flight is cancelled due to crowds, you probably won't be offered an alternative flight. In that case, you are entitled to a refund of the amount paid.
Have you booked a complete holiday with, for example, a flight, a hotel and a rental car - and not a package holiday? Then you will often only get the price of your ticket back. Depending on the terms and conditions of a cancellation insurance, these costs may be covered, but this differs per insurer.
The Association emphasises to check the policy conditions carefully in advance to avoid surprises.
