Didn't have to use it, but it was a comfort knowing it was there if we needed it.

I was in Europe as hurricane Irma was approaching Ft. Myers/FL where I live. My intention was to return home to secure our home. AIG agent informed me that the policy would cover my extra costs for the new flight only when I cancelled my original flight AFTER MY HOME BECAME UNINHABITABLE. This is a non sense policy as I wanted to return home to save our home.

We bought the Insure My Trip to cover the possibility that one of us might be too ill to make the trip. I noticed that there was a small amount of medical insurance but who cares. On our arrival in Wengen the roads and side walks were icy. I'll be careful. But I was not careful enough. My feet went out from under me and my head went back. When my head hit the pavement I was knocked out. My son woke me up. That son called our other son, a RN in an emergency room. "Get him to a Doctor.", he said. I was hospitalized over night. My wife brought the AIG information with us. She called AIG to report the accident.
From that point on AIG kept in contact with us, offering help at all points of my recovery. That $10,000 of medical insurance became a life saver. I filled a claim with AIG yesterday, January 19. All my medical costs were covered. That saved us from a very difficult situation.
The $10,000 turned out to cover all our costs in this accident. However, costs could have been much greater. I will insure future trips for much more than the minimum.
Thank you AIG. I feel that, "WE WERE IN VERY GOOD HANDS.".
I KNOW, I KNOW, WRONG COMPANY.

My plane was canceled at midnight on Saturday of Memorial holiday weekend. We called the company to see if we would be reimbursed. We were not covered for mechanical error however the person that answered our call went above and beyond (Bonita I Think was her name). She helped us book our flight thru the SAS German office when they opened. It was such an unexpected gift. Can't say enough to family and friends about thie help we received from an unexpected source. Thank You so much.

Very impressed with your company. We were stranded in Chicago when our flight was canceled at 11:45 p.m. Your representatives (Bonita especially)were very helpful in booking us a new flight by calling the German office for SAS at 3:00 in the morning to book a new flight for that
afternoon. SAS was not very helpful in Chicago. Thanks again to your representatives. Not sure we would have got to Switzerland without their assistance.
