The new DOT flight refund rule, announced in April 2024, will soon be in effect. This new rule requires all airlines operating flights in the US to give automatic refunds when flights are canceled or have a major delay. ✈️ With this new rule, do travelers still need travel insurance? Yes! Travel insurance offers significantly more protection than just flight delay or cancellation coverage. It can also cover your nonrefundable hotel and tour costs, lost baggage, canceling or delaying your trip for other covered reasons, emergency medical expenses, and much more. Learn more about the DOT flight refund rule and why travel insurance is still a necessity for all travelers. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gQqyg4hk

In today's world, the reality of terrorism and civil unrest can make international travel feel more uncertain than ever. While the primary focus should always be on personal safety and adhering to official travel advisories, it's natural to be concerned about the unexpected when planning a trip. Many travelers invest in travel insurance for their trips abroad for both medical and travel-related protection. But one question that often arises is whether travel insurance can offer protection in the event of war or a terrorist attack. While war is a typical exclusion in travel insurance, most travel insurance plans do offer coverage related to acts of terrorism.

When booking a cruise, you may notice an option during checkout to add on travel protection through your cruise line. While this may seem like a convenient way to protect your trip, there are several reasons why you should consider getting your own travel insurance plan instead. Why? • Cruise line travel protection packages do not cover other travel costs like your flight and hotel, which can also be affected by trip delays or cancellations - travel insurance does. • Coverage is very limited compared to standard travel insurance, especially for emergency medical expenses and evacuation. • They aren’t cost effective when comparing cost to benefits. Travel insurance gives you better protection for a similar cost. • Cancel For Any Reason coverage is often credit only - no cash back. Travel insurance with CFAR coverage can give you money back for prepaid travel costs if you have to cancel for any reason.
