Emirates has become the first airline to offer Comprehensive Travel Cover insurance.

And, importantly, cover is not restricted by government travel advice.

This industry-first travel insurance includes medical cover for conflict-related incidents.

And it is backed by hotels which are managed by the airline, and offers extended stays during a range of disruption scenarios.

Newly added conflict cover provides reimbursement for medical expenses of up to US$25,000 and a free trip extension of up to 30 days.

Comprehensive Travel Cover also includes:

+ Trip cancellation cover.

+ Compensation for baggage delay or loss.

+ Unlimited medical expense.

+ Emergency evacuation cover worldwide.

Where travellers have itineraries that include connections on other airlines or Emirates services that are unavailable, the insurance also covers rebooking at no additional cost. This includes cases where flights have been cancelled due to conflict.

Emirates Comprehensive Travel Cover can now be bought on emirates.com at the time of booking or added to existing bookings via Manage Booking.
