One airline is now promising to offer a refund if travellers experience "excessive rain" during their getaway.
US-based JetBlue have teamed up with tech startup WeatherPromise to give holiday-goers that extra bit of confidence when booking their trip.
"We know how important vacations are, and by offering coverage against weather disruptions, we're ensuring our customers can focus on enjoying their trips with confidence and peace of mind," said JetBlue Travel president Jamie Perry in a statement.

What counts as 'excessive rainfall'?
Available to travellers who book through JetBlue's eligible Flight + Hotel vacation packages, the airline is making waves for offering this one-of-a-kind coverage.
But what exactly counts as "excessive rainfall"?
According to the statement, "WeatherPromise determines 'excessive rain' based on destination, trip length, and historical weather data".
Even better - there's no need for travellers to fill out lengthy forms to get their money back once they finally do get home.
"If rainfall meets the qualifying threshold, customers are automatically reimbursed - no paperwork needed," reveals the statement.

This isn't the only innovative way some American airlines are enticing travellers.
Earlier this year, Frontier Airlines announced their limited offer 'GoWild!' all-you-can-fly pass
For an upfront fee of $940, travellers are then given access to unlimited domestic and international flights with the Colorado-based airline for an entire year.
There is a catch, of course.
Bookings for domestic flights can only be confirmed the day before flight departure, while international travel bookings start at 10 days before the flight. Booking charges may also apply.
