Is there a travel insurance that covers Covid-19?
If you’ve had all of your vaccinations, you’ll be able to go abroad without a visa starting November 1st. However, transit and destination countries may impose entrance limitations, such as quarantine requirements. Check sure you can purchase travel insurance for the destination you plan to visit before you depart.
When you book a ticket or trip with some tour operators or airlines, you may be eligible for free ‘COVID insurance.’ Always read your travel insurance coverage to make sure you’re aware of what it covers. It’s possible that free ‘COVID insurance’ just covers COVID-19 and nothing else. It may also be granted by an overseas insurance company, putting it under the jurisdiction of that country’s regulations. If this is the case, it is unlikely to be a suitable substitute for comprehensive Australian travel insurance.
Even if you are unable to obtain coverage for COVID-19, travel insurance is still required. Traveling does not always go as planned. If you become sick while traveling, have to cancel your plans, or your luggage and important documents are lost or stolen, and you don’t have travel insurance, you’ll have to cover the charges out of your own money. If you’re still not convinced, check out CHOICE’s explanation of why you should buy travel insurance.
Checklist
- Is the Smartraveller advise level for the countries you’ll be visiting covered by your insurance? Many destinations are currently classified as level three – ‘Reconsider your need to travel,’ and not all travel insurance companies cover them.
- Is evidence of insurance for COVID-19-related medical expenses required by your destination? Singapore, for example, demands a minimum of SGD $30,000 in coverage.
- Is your vacation covered for the entire duration? Can you, for example, extend your coverage if you have to stay in a foreign country longer than intended due to a flight cancellation?
- Are you protected for stopovers on your journey to your destination? Is there a time limit on how long you may stay at the stopover location? What happens if you’re stranded for a long time?
- Are you protected if you or a traveling companion tests positive for COVID-19 and you can’t travel or your stay is extended? What if you’re forced to isolate yourself because you’re in close proximity to someone who has tested positive?
- Are you reimbursed for cancellation charges if a business colleague or a family member back home gets COVID-19 and you have to leave sooner than planned?
- What if you were planning on staying with someone but they have COVID-19? Or is your hotel or tour company forced to close as a result of COVID-19? Are your out-of-pocket costs covered?
- If you’re going on a cruise, take extra precautions. For multi-night cruises, some travel insurers may not provide COVID-19 coverage.
- Are you protected in the event of a claim resulting from government travel bans, border closures, or enforced quarantine/self-isolation rules at your destination?
The Bradstone* family from Melbourne was planning a visit to Queenstown, New Zealand, to see relatives. However, due to a lockdown in Melbourne, they were forced to abandon their trip. Their claim for cancellation expenses was disallowed by their travel insurer.
- Make sure you’re protected if your leave is canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak if you’re an important healthcare professional like a pharmacist, nurse, doctor, or paramedic.

Are AirAsia Flights refundable?
Except for meals, in-flight products and services are refundable but non-transferable once purchased. In the event that AirAsia India cancels the flight, a full refund will be issued.
Can I get my money back if I cancel a flight?
Despite the fact that the COVID-19 vaccines are successful in avoiding catastrophic disease and death from the delta form, breakthrough infections characterized by moderate symptoms appear to be on the rise.
If the spread of the disease has you reconsidering your trip plans, you may have a few options, especially since many airlines have eliminated change and cancellation costs on all except the most basic economy tickets.
However, just because airlines are eliminating change costs doesn’t mean you’ll get a refund if you decide to cancel or postpone your trip. Instead, you’ll most likely be given a coupon to use with the carrier in the future.
So, what if you really need your money back? I’ve got some wonderful news for you. Even if the airline insists you aren’t, you are entitled to a reimbursement for your canceled flight. This may also be feasible if an airline makes significant changes to its schedule.
But here’s the thing: the airline is only responsible for a refund if your flight is canceled or if your itinerary or routing is significantly altered. That’s why it’s a good idea to save your reservation until the airline confirms it.
