Flightsurance - The €1 million air travel cover now available in the UK & Ireland

Flightsurance is now available in the UK and Ireland. Flightsurance Air Travel Cover is the first and only accident insurance specifically designed for airline passengers which offers a worldwide cover of €1 million. The product is a novel technology-based customized Air Travel Insurance which insures business and leisure travellers against accidents during flights.

The air travel cover is available in the UK and Ireland through the website of Flightsurance. It can be purchased by residents of the 27 EU states and is valid for more than 230 airlines worldwide.

Flightsurance guarantees worldwide coverage in the amount of €1 million for airline passengers involved in an accident taking place during a flight. What is more, the Flightsurance air travel coverage is not only valid during the flight itself: The entire time in between passing the boarding gates and arriving at the destination airport is covered which means that passengers are insured during their stay at transfer airports as well.

The payout amount in case of an accident is covered by two major international insurance and reinsurance groups: QBE and Swiss Re. With Flightsurance, air passengers can compensate the existing but inadequate maximum limit of liability for personal injury offset by airlines (€125,000 according to the Montreal Convention). The payout amount in case of a claim is not restricted or reduced by any other insurance policy.

Leisure and business travellers can purchase the Flightsurance Air Travel Cover in nearly all cases for €6.99 for a one-way flight and €9.99 for a round-trip. It is bookable on demand per trip, without having to deal with long lasting expensive annual contracts.

Travellers interested in booking the insurance can select their country from the drop-down menu on the website, and then are only a few steps away from closing the transaction. On the new website there is not only the opportunity to book, it is also possible to query country-specific information concerning the air travel protection.

Thanks to its patent pending technology, Flightsurance expands not only in Europe but also in other countries such as the United States, China, Japan, India, Canada and Indonesia.
