The only frustration was when we thought we had to submit a claim for lost luggage and was directed to another website. When attempting to input the dollar amount of each item lost, you were unable to just type in the amount. Instead, I had to sit at the computer and repeatedly tap and hold down the key because the dollar amount would only register ONE PENNY at a time. This is ridiculous, time consuming and unnecessary in this day and age of technology. Other than that it was okay.

With aging parents, all of our trips require this type of insurance. It's a nice comfort in case of an emergency.

It is difficult to rate a plan when you did not have to file a claim. My ratings would have been far different if I had to file a claim. Ratings would be very positive if the claim was easy to file, processed quickly, and resulted in losses being covered. Any difficulties would have resulted in negative ratings.
