What a travel policy actually covers
- Medical abroad: hospital and treatment costs — the single biggest financial risk of any long-haul trip, and the reason policies exist.
- Cancellation: non-refundable flights and hotels covered when illness or emergencies force the trip to fold.
- Baggage: delayed, damaged or lost — above what the airline owes, which is usually less than people assume.
- Delay and missed connection: costs when the airline's failure cascades into your onward plans.
Who needs what
Short city break in Europe: basic medical plus cancellation is the core. Schengen visas require proof of €30,000 medical cover — a policy is a visa prerequisite, not an optional extra. Long-haul or adventure itineraries (diving, skiing, trekking): add the activity riders, standard policies exclude them. Family trips: group policies usually undercut per-person cover — quote the whole household.
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell the insurance?
No — FlyraGo sends you to the insurance provider (EKTA). You buy directly from them, and they underwrite and service the policy.
Is travel insurance required for a visa?
For Schengen visas, yes — proof of medical cover of at least €30,000 is part of the application. Other countries vary; check the official embassy source for yours.
When should I buy travel insurance?
As soon as you book anything non-refundable — cancellation cover starts from purchase, so a policy bought at booking protects more of the trip than one bought at the airport.
Does it cover pre-existing conditions?
Policies differ — some exclude them, some cover declared conditions. Declare everything at quote time; undeclared conditions are the most common claim rejection.
