Is it too late to buy travel insurance after booking flights?

Not usually. It may not be too late if you have not yet travelled and nothing has already happened that could lead to a claim. However, waiting can reduce the usefulness of cancellation cover because events that happened before you bought the policy are unlikely to be covered.
