Here’s a cure for pteromechanophobia—flight insurance. The symptom itself may sound complex, but it’s a common symptom, and you probably know it better as “fear of flying.” Some estimates peg the number of people who suffer from a fear of flying at 40%.
The number of travelers who fear flying is increasing, and this is no coincidence. Several recent flight accidents have exposed the inherent risks involved in flying. Airline flight insurance is insurance that covers a person for loss of life, limbs, or sight, in addition to trip cancellation and baggage loss benefits, as the case may be. Plans offer life coverage of between $300,000 and $1 million.
Flight insurance plans such as Travelex Flight Insure Plus also allow the plan holder to purchase a package plan that also includes coverage for medical evacuation, repatriation, baggage loss or delay, and medical expenses. Other plans, such as Travel Guard Flight Guard, also include trip cancellation benefits, so that you don’t have to purchase a separate plan for that.
Purchasing flight insurance from a reputed company can help protect you not just against loss of life, but also against loss of limbs or sight, which can be crucial to your financial health. Buying the right kind of flight insurance can give you the peace of mind that your family is well covered, no matter what happens when flying.

Definitely good recommedation with flight insurance. I always get mine through Travel Guard and actually needed to use it once when my flight was cancelled. The insurance, I think it was through Travel Guard, reimbursed me for the cost of the ticket and they even assisted me in re-booking a new flight. Others were clearly disgruntled trying to find a new flight in the airport ticket line... meanwhile I was working with my travel insurance company... far less hassle to have them take care of this AND to get reimbursed!
