Travel Insurance
 
My husband and I are going to Thailand in November on Royal Thai and then we are flying on Banghok Air to Laos and Cambodia. Could anyone tell me where we could get travel insurance for the flight?
Thanks.

I like this company...The policy will cover all sorts of stuff- delays, lost luggage, medivac, etc., and they have a few different types. They also cover pre-existing medical conditions if you buy it within 14 days of buying you tickets, too. When you price it, only base the amount on the non-refundable parts of your trip, likeair tickets or packages.

I have used TravelGuard probably 18-20 times and had 3 claims. One was for $3200 the others 2 were under $1000. I always take out the premium policy that covers pre-existing health conditions and it is a bit expensive but I have piece of mind. With the receipts they pay within 10-15 days from their receipt of claim. On an Asia trip for 28 days costing over $20,000 the cost was $600 but I knew we would have no worries.

I've used Travel Guard forever...probably almost a decade... and they paid my hotel claim for a late arrival due to bad weather. Happy Travels!

My wife fell and broke her wrist on a trip overseas. Every penny paid by the insurance company; I think it was TravelGuard. Wouldn't leave home without it.

I use World Nomads - they are cheap and cover what I need covered. You can choose to cover specific things like iPods directly.
