rammygirl Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Go Walkabout do it. Just google one way or migration insurance. I’m not sure you will get cover for COVID though, book a flexible ticket and pray you don’t get bumped off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaceboy1 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think Emirates include this insurance within the cost of the ticket also covers COVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might offer insurance when you book, but that is not the same as including it in the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take the time to look it up it says tickets booked after 1st Dec 2020 and includes Covid at no cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaceboy1 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Up to USD 500,000 for overseas medical expenses and emergency evacuation. Up to USD 7,500 if your trip is cancelled due to contracting COVID‑19 or for other reasons named in the policy. Up to USD 7,500 if your trip is cancelled or cut short if the school year is extended due to COVID‑19 beyond the departure date, and you or a relative is a full‑time teacher, full‑time employee, or a student at a primary or secondary school. Up to USD 7,500 if your trip is cut short due to you or a relative* falling ill overseas, including contracting COVID‑19, and you need to return home. Up to USD 7,500 if you have to abandon your travels for failing a COVID‑19 test or medical screening at the airport. USD 150 per day, per person for up to 14 consecutive days if you test positive for COVID‑19 and are unexpectedly placed into mandatory quarantine while overseas. Just copied the above from the Emirates website it’s including for free on all bookings after 01/12/20 , seems to cover the OP query ! *Relative as defined in the policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Always read the weasel words of the ts and cs. Yes you will be covered if you get COVID BUT not for the following! Trip cancellation / interruption due to - epidemic / pandemic-related travel advisories issued by governments, health authorities or the WHO - border closures, quarantine or other government orders, advisories, regulations or directives; or - disinclination to travel, change of mind or fear of travelling, or if an airline has offered a refund or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Yes but not if their plans are scuppered by border closures or restrictions due to COVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of companies cover the one-way trip over (I think I used Columbus), but you usually have to call them up, because you can't usually book it online with it being a non-standard option.
