Flight Insurance Covers Visitors Up in the Air

A New Haven-bound US Airways flight was struck by lightning. The passengers and crew were safe and the flight was rerouted to New York. This incident, however, demonstrates why flight insurance is so crucial.

One can guess, looking at the sheer number and variety of flight insurance policies available, that fliers do consider flight insurance important. A basic flight insurance policy covers death, loss of limbs, or loss of eyesight due to a flight accident. Some policies also include coverage for evacuation and repatriation on medical grounds, missing baggage, and trip cancellation.

You have several flight insurance packages to pick from. Flight life insurance plans provide insurance coverage for accidental death on commercial airlines. If the insured visits high-risk areas, then flight life insurance do not offer coverage.

Flight cancellation insurance policies provide coverage for flight delay and illness or death of a family member or traveling companion. In some cases, if a policy holder is accompanied by a child younger than 18 years of age, then the policy includes coverage for the child as well. Some policies even reimburse expenses for trips delayed because connecting flights were missed.

There are several policies to choose from, depending on necessity and budget. One travel insurance policy can offer maximum limits of $300,000, $500,000, or $1 million while some others offer lower maximum limits of $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, and so on.

Based on the policy chosen, premium amounts can vary from $14 to $56. Maximum trip durations, too, vary from 180 days to 365 days. Also, you can choose a package for a single trip or for multiple trips through the year.

Some flight insurance plans pack in a lot of benefits while some others cover certain risks. A MedEvac plan takes care of emergency evacuation either due to medical reasons or security reasons. It also offers non-mandatory adventure sports coverage and a host of assistance services for medical situations, flight and hotel requirements, and even with missing luggage.

To help customers with accessing and evaluating the several flight insurance options in the market, a web site was recently launched. The web site requires that the user should provide some details, which will be used to search for relevant policy details from all over. The user can then compare all the policies and choose a policy that is relevant and viable.
