Did not need to use the insurance though we did have a flight disruption that led to a missed connection. The airline paid for overnight stay and we were placed on airline flight the next day. Had no real financial loss except could not use accommodation one night in destination city, Melbourne- however our daughter had to use it. Glad that had the coverage just in case and feel fortunate that did not have to use it.

Having the insurance gave me peace of mind should anything unforseen occur. The online process was easy and certain coverages where included that I hadn't considered.

There are different ways to define a specific coverage. My modest ($50) claim was dismissed on a technicality which I feel did not take into consideration the actual purpose of the coverage.
Therefore this insurance company has lost my future business.
And I will verbally discourage anyone I know from doing business with them.

A customer service person could contact me - if something were going to be changed however I am not interested in spending time listening to so-called "reasons".
Laura S. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
