Is flight insurance worth it?
All travel insurance is designed to help protect you from the unexpected — and this includes flight coverage plans. Although it’s likely you’ll have an uneventful takeoff and a smooth touchdown when your start your vacation and return home, something unexpected can affect your flight at any time. This is why it’s smart to be prepared and travel with flight protection.
Flight insurance is worth considering whether you’re planning a quick weekend away or a long overseas vacation. Why? Travel insurance for flights can reimburse you for unexpected issues eligible for coverage so you’re not left paying the bills all on your own.
