Travel Insurance for Multiple Flights

Hi

Off on my honeymoon to Australia in November and was wondering if theres a travel insurance company that covers multiple flights as we have about 6 internal flights in Australia to get us about as im guessing most companies just cover there and back.

Cheers

Steve

    Sounds like you are wanting the 'independent travellers option' which some policies provide to cover non packaged trips. e.g. M&S Premier Travel Insurance, John Lewis Travel Insurance.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    If it makes any difference it is a packaged trip organised by a company called travelsphere

    Not sure it does. But ask Travelsphere about this, to see what protection you have via them, before you pay for more cover than you need. i.e. if you had missed connection costs, missed paid for ativitie/accommodation.

    I have travelled around OZ a few times and have never suffered any delays. But recently they have had the volcanic ash cloud from Chile which grounded some flights for a number of hours and at some points of the year they do get cyclones in the North (not usually in November). Bearing in mind the cost of the trip it might be worth paying for better cover. The John Lewis independent travellers option covers these potential extra costs/losses.

    If you have paid for the trip, arrange cover ASAP, so you are covered for cancellation.

    I use Insure and Go and have Multi-Trip Annual Travel Insurance with them. Their Multi Trip Annual Cover - covers for holidays up to 90 days long.

    I know I was covered when I went to Oz in 2003 and I was hopping on and off planes all the time - I took 10 flights in all (including one helicopter and one hot air balloon). When I flew to Oz I insured myself through Dogtag Insurance but now I use Insure & Go who offer me similar cover. The trip was arranged via an adventure group I was in at the time and we had to arrange our own travel insurance.
