Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Other than a 4 hour flight delay, all went well.

Insurance is necessary for the “just in case of an emergency “ need.

Never made cruise because of flight cancellation. Found out that is not part of coverage for claim. If you do have covered claim you must go through hoops and garner mounds of paperwork to satisfy insurance company

Our baggage was lost in route on our insured trip from Phoenix to Bangkok. I provided all of the required documentation to Nationwide within a week from returning home. Nationwide sent an email stating that they approved my claim and sent a check on 6-12-24. Today is 8-4-24 and I still haven’t received the check. Nationwide has not responded to any correspondence since they claimed to send the check. I would not recommend!

Our flight was cancelled for mechanical issues but the policy only covers 24 hour weather delay and strikes. Typical ridiculous fine print. I buy insurance to cover things beyond my control. Mechanical issues are a common reason for flight delay/cancelation that are beyond my control. To sell a policy that does not cover mechanical issues is simply a scam. I want my money back you con artists!

We had piece of mind knowing we'd be covered if something significant went wrong.
