Jet2.com and Jet2holidays offers Covid-19 insurance

The new product, which is 5* Defaqto rated, gives customers even more assurance ahead of their well-deserved holidays, further building on the trust and confidence that we have established both before and during the pandemic.

The extra Covid-19 cover has been automatically added to all policies purchased since 9th April 2020, and new policies can be purchased when booking with us or added to existing bookings. The policy includes:

Medical cover in the event of contracting Covid-19 whilst abroad.
Cancellation cover should a customer or another individual on the booking test positive for Covid-19 up to 14 days before travel.
Cancellation cover if a customer or another individual on the booking is hospitalised due to Covid-19 up to 28 days before travel.
Cover if a customer or another individual on the booking is not allowed to board their flight as a result of a positive Covid-19 test or raised temperature.
By booking this policy at the same time as a holiday, all of the above cover is included in just a few clicks. Full details on the policy can be found at: https://www.jet2.com/en/flights/safe-travel/before-you-go. Terms and conditions apply.

We resumed our flights and holidays programme on 15th July, and we are using our industry-leading customer service to look after customers throughout their holidays and ensure that their comfort, safety and well-being is our number one priority. Everything from onboard cleaning to in-resort care is in line with official Covid-19 guidelines, and we are only travelling to the safest destinations, where our teams and hotel partners are ensuring everything is in place for a healthy and happy holiday.

The launch of this insurance policy, coupled with this customer-first approach, provides customers with all the confidence they need before booking and travelling on their holidays.
