Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading carrier, recently launched COVID Protect, a new travel insurance add-on, to give travelers peace of mind when flying amidst the pandemic. This upgrade to the CEB TravelSure travel insurance plan will cover COVID-related hospitalization and treatment. With this new add-on, the carrier further expands its suite of available passenger options as it prioritizes everyJuan’s health and safety.
With COVID Protect, passengers who test positive for COVID-19 during their travel may receive up to PHP 1 million coverage for their hospitalization and medical expenses. The COVID Protect add-on may be availed of by all passengers flying to and from all of CEB’s domestic destinations, as well as to its international destinations, for as low as PHP 270. Coverage begins on the date of departure and ends two hours upon return to the point of origin, with a maximum travel duration of 30 consecutive days.
Passengers can easily avail themselves of this offer when booking flights on the Cebu Pacific website, while existing CEB TravelSure insured passengers can simply purchase the COVID Protect add-on up to two hours prior their flight through the website’s ‘Manage Booking’ portal.
“We are very pleased to launch the CEB Travelsure COVID Protect in line with our commitment to restart travel and tourism safely and sustainably. With COVID Protect, guests will be able to travel more confidently as they are assured of coverage, especially if they have essential travel scheduled,” said Candice Iyog, CEB Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience.
CEB TravelSure COVID Protect is underwritten by Insurance Company of North America (a Chubb Company). Chubb is the world’s largest publicly traded property and casualty insurance company.
CEB TravelSure, the airline’s comprehensive travel insurance plan, provides extensive trip protection with coverage of costs related to injuries, illnesses, loss of personal belongings, trip cancellations, emergency assistance, and other unforeseen travel circumstances.
