Air travel insurance is popularly known as flight insurance. This is a short term insurance policy providing accidental death and dismemberment benefit for the insured if he or she is mailed or killed during the flight boarding, travel or deplaning. The benefits of this policy are reimbursed to the beneficiary mentioned in the application form.

Air travel insurance should be purchased prior to travel departure and is valid till the insured deplanes the flight. This insurance plan can also be purchased as a part of a comprehensive blanket international travel insurance plan with health insurance, baggage cover and trip cancellation benefits.

Air travel insurance provides coverage only for commercial flights and not private aircrafts. The insurance reimbursement amount varies among different insurance providers. These policies are generally affordable with low premiums rates. You can also insure a family or a group under this short term insurance plan.

This policy can be instantly purchased in many international airports at automatic kiosks where you enter the details of your flight and pay with your credit card. It is generally a preferred option among travellers who make frequent international trips for business purposes.
