easyJet launches in-flight travel insurance service
easyJet is claiming an industry first with this week’s launch of an in-flight travel insurance service.
The airline has made the move in response to research suggesting that one in five UK holidaymakers set off on their vacations uninsured, which in easyJet’s case equates to around 20 to 30 people per flight.
Passengers in-flight can choose from a five-day or 14-day adult single trip European policy, which covers medical emergencies, loss of baggage and passport, personal accident and personal liability, with prices starting from £15.00 per person.
Customers are then presented with a pack, which includes the policy wording and other important information such as medical assistance and claims telephone numbers.
The carrier’s head of ancillaries, Nick Hughes, comments: “The launch of our in-flight insurance service is part of our ongoing commitment to providing easyJet customers with convenient, quality cover that comes at a price to suit their budget.”
In other travel insurance news, recent research from YouGov indicates that consumers are increasingly turning to their current account providers for travel insurance, and are taking more of an interest in the policy small print.
