What does Air New Zealand domestic travel insurance cover?
Air New Zealand’s domestic travel insurance policies are only available for travel within Australia.
Domestic Comprehensive plans cover you for events such as cancellation or amendment fees, loss of luggage and personal effects and an allowance for delayed luggage, among other things. A domestic single trip plan can also cover up to $50,000 in medical expenses and $1,000 in dental expenses due to sudden or acute pain for travel on a cruise ship that is within Australian territorial waters.
A Domestic Cancellation Plan covers amendment and cancellation costs and additional expenses only.
Please note that exclusions may apply and domestic travel insurance generally covers fewer risks than international travel insurance. There are also a number of general exclusions such as incidents that occur outside of the insured period and claims that arise due to irresponsible behaviour.
For more details about what is and isn’t covered, check out the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) on Air New Zealand’s website.
What does Air New Zealand international travel insurance cover?
