Got most of my money back

British Airways

Epidemics as a rule are not covered by any insurance company or credit card. I have a fully pre-paid group trip to SE Asia in March and I have been told I will not get any money back unless the government officially announces restricted travel to that country

Government restrictions might be another story, not sure, but fear of travel is for sure out. Ironically they will cover the quarantine if necessary and care if you do get sick, but won’t help you out if you make the smart decision to avoid the situation entirely (yes, that’s how all insurance works, but it still hurts)

There are trip insurance options that allow cancel for any reason. The premium is higher than standard options, but might be worth looking into if you can still buy it.

Read the article. States that you typically have 21 days to purchase insurance from date of booking trip.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far.

Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
