Am I covered if my airline declares bankruptcy due to the coronavirus travel ban?

Last Updated:

You may be covered by the Financial Default benefit if your airline, or other travel supplier, complete suspends operations for financial circumstances.

The Financial Default benefit is included within some travel insurance policies to reimburse your prepaid and non-refundable trip expenses if your travel supplier suspends services due to financial circumstances, whether or not bankruptcy is filed.

This is a time-sensitive benefit that may be included within your policy if you purchased within 10-21 days of making your initial trip deposit.

This information may vary based on the travel insurance policy. If you have questions about a specific policy, please contact us directly at 800-240-0369. Our customer service representatives are available from 8am to 10pm ET, seven days a week, and are delighted to help! We are working to answer customer calls and emails as quickly as possible.
