Very easy to purchase. Price reasonable for the coverage. Thank goodness my son's trip went without incident but should there have been any problems I knew he would have been taken care of. thank you!

I traveled in American Airlines, never on Continental, the Insurance made me feel comfortable knowing I was protected. However it puzzles me why it says " I flew Continental"

Would I have been covered if I had not been in Continental????

Good plan and even better that I didn't need to use it. It was still good peace of mind.

Trips cost a lot of money these days, airline tickets are the worse so why not purchase the added protection and peace of mind of trip insurance? For pennies on the dollar you guard your deposits etc. Since I have not filed a claim I can't speak to the expediency of this process however I can appreciate the ease with which I purchased my policy that left me with a few Euro to spend when I arrived in Ireland! Thank you!

You were very easy to deal with and provided the coverage documentation in a timely manner. I was fortunate not to need to file a claim. Will use you again in the future. Thank you!

Insurance is just that and luckily, I didn't need to use it. However, I was very impressed with your email just days before I left and felt completely comfortable knowing that I had used your for my trip. I have already recommended you to a friend looking to go to Thailand. Thanks much.
