How to Buy Travel Insurance for Philippines Travel Only

We love to travel but we don’t usually buy travel insurance because it is an additional cost to our budget. But after experiencing canceled flights, delayed flights, missed connecting flights, damaged luggage, and lost baggage, our perspective changed. And because of that, we make sure that we have travel insurance whenever we have international trips.

Where to Buy Schengen Travel Insurance with COVID19 

When it comes to domestic trips, we were having second thoughts because we live in the Philippines and we have insurance + health card naman. But after experiencing the global pandemic because of COVID-19 and the weather being so unpredictable, for the very first time, we purchased insurance "Philippines Travel Only" for our Cebu Trip. 

How to Buy Philippines Travel Insurance Online at Pacific Cross 

Just this year, I bought our travel insurance for our Europe and Asia trip at Pacific Cross so walang isip-isip pa, doon na rin ako bumili ng insurance for our domestic trip. Unlike sa Schengen Travel Insurance na one week bago ko nakabili, for our Asia and Philippines travel insurance pwede na online so I received my insurance after few minutes.

Our flight to Cebu went smoothly but after several hours, we received an email from Philippine Airlines. 

“We would like to inform you that there are changes to your upcoming flight from Cebu (CEB) - Manila (MNL) due to adjustments in our flight operations. 

We apologize for the inconvenience brought about by the flight change. Please select your new flight option."

We just chose the next available flight. Our flight schedule was moved and our flight was delayed too so I checked our travel benefits for flight delay pero may minimum of 6 hours delay or flight difference so I cannot file anything since few hours lang yung flight difference and flight delay namin. But this is one of the reasons, why travel insurance is important because we never know what will happen during our trip.
