When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: yes, or travel cancellation costs (after all, there may be several different items involved). For my taste, "trip" is a bit too colloquial

meant to add "cancellation", i..e. state "travel cancellation (cost) insurance"

David Moore (X)
: Sorry, but I skated straight over this as the heading to me was not really correct. Yours is a rather exotic type of insurance, isn't it, whereas the posting i gave in good faith (even though I missed lirka's posting) does cover the lot.

Reference comments
Reiserücktrittskosten-Versicherung
- Reiserücktrittskosten-Versicherung, which would be cancellation insurance, as suggested in C.H>'s answer
http://www.test.de/themen/versicherung-vorsorge/test/-Reiser...
http://travel.schofields.ltd.uk/
http://www.columbusdirect.com/int/Travel-Insurance/Cancellat...
http://www.jlmorris.co.uk/insurance/holiday-cancellation.php
- or just for a translation of Reiserücktrittskosten, which, as stated in the other answers, something like cancellation costs or cancellation charges.
http://www.clubdirect.com/cancellation.cfm
You are covered up to [click here] for travel and accommodation cancellation costs relating only to those people specified on the insurance schedule.
Not Covered...additional cancellation costs incurred as a result.... We will only pay the cancellation charges that would have applied at the time you knew it was necessary to cancel your trip

| agree |
Lonnie Legg
: Why don't you post "travel cancellation costs", since that's what the German term means. Not a "fee"--see David Moore's disagreement.
