E.g. Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Travel Delays, Lost or Delayed Baggage and more.

Travel insurance is available for purchase between 180 to 365 days before your trip commences.

Please contact the respective insurer that you bought your travel insurance from.

The documents vary depending on the insurer and the type of claim. Generally, you will need copies of your flight itineraries and boarding passes.

Additionally, insurers may also request for other documents such as:

• Police reports in the case of theft or loss of travel documents,
• Airline communications for proof of travel delays or misconnections,
• Medical reports and bills in the event of a medical expense claim,
• Evidence of pre-paid and non-refundable costs for claims related to trip cancellation, postponement, curtailment, or disruption.

For specific details, please reach out to the respective insurer.

Do remember to obtain a written confirmation of this flight delay from your airline. You will need this written confirmation together with your original itinerary and re-scheduled boarding pass when making a claim for travel delay.
