To give travelers peace of mind when flying during this pandemic, Cebu Pacific (CEB) introduces COVID Protect, its newest add-on to CEB Travelsure. COVID-related hospitalization and treatments are covered with this upgrade — something very timely as the carrier aims to provide more passenger options as it prioritizes health and safety.
“We are very pleased to launch the CEB Travelsure COVID Protect in line with our commitment to restart travel and tourism safely and sustainably. With COVID Protect, guests will be able to travel more confidently as they are assured of coverage, especially if they have essential travel scheduled,” according to Candice Iyog, CEB Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience.
With COVID Protect, guests traveling who test positive for COVID-19 will get up to PHP1 million coverage for hospitalization and medical expenses. This upgrade to the airline’s comprehensive travel insurance plan may be availed by all passengers flying to and from all of CEB’s domestic and international destinations for as low as PHP270. Coverage begins on the date of departure from the origin and ends two hours upon arrival back at origin, with a maximum travel duration of 30 consecutive days.
Insurance Company of North America (a Chubb Company) acts as the underwriter for CEB Travelsure COVID Protect. Chubb is the world’s largest publicly traded property and casualty insurance company.
