travel insurance

I will be travelling to S-E Asia to recommence a OWCA, so need to book a positioning flight outside the OWCA Itinerary. Being mindful of the risks associated with transits between separate Itineraries, I will book the positioning flight to arrive about a day before the OWCA flight departs...

Hello all, I was reading through the PDS and eligibility criteria for the Amplify signature card's travel insurance. It mentions putting $500 of spend on the card prior to travel for each travelling party to qualify for it. "Before leaving Australia you spend at least $500 on your prepaid...

Is there travel insurance pre trip covering covid for more than $5000

Haven't travelled internationally for the last few years but am itching to get out and about later this year and early next as well. So, travel insurance looms. For 15 years at least I've been using TID - never had to claim with them but they seem to get generally favourable reviews here and...

Does anyone know whether I'll need TI for Fiji if I'm only in the country for 9 hours? Booked a b2b on FJ and was wondering whether check-in will ask for TI?

Bendigo has launched a new card called Ready. Looks like a good alternative to 28 Degrees and Bankwest Zero Platinum cards. There's no annual fee, no foreign currency fees, and it does include travel insurance ($500 pre-paid travel expenses on the card to activate). There's also an introductory...

What is the best or available travel policy for my grandfather. Traveling from Melbourne to TelAviv, has preexisting conditions. Aiming for March next year.

I booked a Jetstar flight to Asia and it was ~$1400. I had a leftover Jetstar travel voucher from the COVID days with $24 balance. The rest was paid with AMEX Platinum charge. I just read the fineprint on the insurance PDS and it says to be eligible: " You are going on an International Return...

Hello, I see on the AFF Supporters page ( Become an AFF Supporter - Australian Frequent Flyer ) it's mentioned that there's a deal to "Save 20% off all Columbus Direct travel insurance policies" but with the note that new policies are suspended due to Covid. This seems to be out of date as in...

3+ weeks in Europe just after their summer holidays, driving through a few countries and taking in the sights. That was the plan - but post covid, travel doesn't quite seem to be what it was. Here's my, well, frustrating experience in September 2022. Flew Singapore Airlines from SYD - FRA with...

Hi everyone, Having some trouble obtaining a letter from VA to provide to my insurance company about a flight cancellation. I have submitted the specified request form on the website 2 months ago, and no response. Have also tried calling numerous times and am transferred around a bit before I...

Travelling to Europe in 2023. Booked Business Class "sale" flights ex BKK. Non-refundable and non-changeable, payable now. I need insurance to cover this purchase, should I have to cancel. Flights and other arrangements for Australia - BKK can't be made yet. Does anyone know of insurers who will...

Hi there! Travelling to Vietnam soon and the country requires travel insurance with Covid coverage Has anyone been in a similar situation. Do you just show the coverage or do you need a certificate of currency and where do you think I would obtain that from?

Just curious about what does the cancellation bit cover ? We have travel insurance for medical reasons. Not fussed about flights or suchlike. Husband's travel insurance can be quite steep even when going to reciprocating countries

I have booked business award flights MEL-LAX (Qantas) then LAX-DUB (BA) and then return flights with Qatar. Wondering, as per the title of the thread, if there is any travel insurance which will pay for a full fare flight (as very likely there will be no award flights left and Qantas seem to do...

Hey All :) I need some wisdom and guidance. I am heading to Europe in a few weeks, SQ business class using KrisFlyer miles. Some of the balance of KrisFlyer miles needed were transferred from my Amex account in order to redeem for the flights, but not all, as I had some KrisFlyer miles sitting...

Suggestions re: travel insurance, 'covering Covid' please? I have Citibank credit card ins that covers everything else and am going on an Antartica cruise. Concerned about confinement to cabin and all that money down the drain and/or canx if (please no🙏) I have it prior.

Was booked on QF770 (PER - MEL) on 18-Apr. A scheduled flight for 17:10. Flight was delayed by two hours - which was fine, we were notified before getting to airport and then a further three upon arrival. We had a feeling that things would go bad and the lounge staff kindly - and quickly-...

I'm considering going with Australia Post for an upcoming Oneworld Classic Flight Reward as they are significantly cheaper than other quotes I have. Keeping in mind that you often get what you pay for, are there any cautionary tales as to why I should definitely avoid them?

Me again, apologies. Does anyone know PLEASE what Citibanks (Allianz) credit card travel insurance policy number is? My tour group wants it!
