Soo first off. I got my passport app sent in today.. Stoked!! As for my question. Iam trying to book a flight and wondering how you get flight insurance when booking thru someone like Priceline?? Our grandparents went on a cruise and there ship couldn't make it back in time for them to catch their flight back and ended up paying an extra $2000 to get home... When they could have gotten flight insurance for an extra $50 pp
Google travel insurance and you will see many options. I personally usually use Travelguard, however there are several sites that do comparisons so that you can get exactly what you want.
so its not something i get through the airlines or priceline??
Sometimes the airlines offer it while purchasing... this is typically how I purchase it.
Sometimes they do, but it is usually pretty reserved as far as what it offers if something happens. I actually use square mouth to do my comparisons and they clearly spell out what is covered and what is not.Originally Posted by 541lion

Squaremouth is awesome. They compare many companies, and show you the differences with different prices. Priceline is AWFUl for trip insurance. Unless you die (practically) - they will not pay. I bought their insurance for a three day trip to San Fran. Had strep, doc wrote a note that I should not travel due to being contagious, and they STILL would not refund! They said I could wear a MASK on the plane!
Lots of issues to consider when buying travel insurance. My best advice would be to contact your insurance broker. They'll be able to provide you with the information needed to make informed choices and source your insurance with a carrier that best suits those requirements.
