You’ll be covered when you fly from any of the following countries with flydubai:

• Bahrain
• Kuwait
• Lebanon
• Oman
  
• Qatar
• the United Arab Emirates

This Policy will not cover any loss, injury, damage or legal liability caused by, sustained or arising directly or indirectly from planned or actual travel in, to, or through Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Sudan, Ukraine or the Crimea Region and actual travel in, to, or through Afghanistan or Iraq.

Your coverage period will be shown on your policy. Generally, you will be covered for as long as your trip lasts, up to a maximum of 90 days, starting from the day you travel. 

If you’re only travelling one way, you will be covered for up to 7 days from the day you arrive at your destination on a flydubai flight.

You will only be covered when you fly with flydubai.

Trip Cancellation solely for concern or fear of travel associated with sickness, epidemic or pandemic (including COVID-19) is not covered.

If you contract COVID-19 prior to your departure, you could be covered for trip cancellation if there is a confirmed diagnosis, including proof of illness from your doctor, that states you are medically unable to travel at the time of departure.

If you become ill with COVID-19 while on a covered trip, you could be covered for medical expenses and trip curtailment benefits, if there is a confirmed diagnosis, including proof of illness from a doctor.

This and any other coverage is subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy.

If you test positive for COVID-19 while travelling, and as a result are unexpectedly placed into a mandatory quarantine, travel insurance will pay up to the amount specified in the schedule of benefits for reasonable and necessary accommodation costs, meals or other expenses directly related to quarantine.

This benefit will not apply where quarantine measures are mandatory for all arriving passengers or quarantine mandates exist for all passengers from a particular country/region of origin.

‘Quarantine’ means a restriction on movement or travel placed by a medical or governmental authority, in order to stop the spread of a communicable disease.

To find out how to make a claim please refer to your policy documents that you would have received by email. There you will find the contact details of the local insurance office in the country that you purchased the insurance policy from.
