Eurowings is pushing the sale of travel insurance and is currently advertising that "Corona travel protection" should now be automatically included when purchasing packages from Hanse-Merkur-Assekuranz. When it comes to travel insurance, you should generally pay attention to the small print, as these are often worthless if there is a travel warning for the destination area.

Since Germany and Austria, among others, issue travel warnings that are not very selective and sometimes politically motivated, the probability that such a warning exists for the destination is very high. Eurowings writes in a press release: “Specifically, the new service components take effect, for example, if the temperature control at the departure airport is not passed or if a corona infection is suspected. The corona protection also covers the additional costs incurred in the event of a delayed return journey. "

“People want to fly and travel, but want more security for uncertain times. With our new corona protection, which is automatically integrated into our insurance, we are responding to the specific wishes of our customers, for whom flexibility and safety when flying are currently the top priority, ”says Jens Bischof, CEO and spokesman for the management of Eurowings.
