Airline offers insurance

Emirates has signed an agreement with insurer Bupa Travel Services to offer customers extra peace of mind while travelling.

Travellers managing their flight bookings online can opt for travel insurance protection which has been tailored for Emirates' customers.

These offers include unlimited cover in medical emergencies, credit card theft and even pet fees.

Insurance cover can be purchased for almost all nationalities (except residents of the US, Canada and Switzerland), for various trip durations, and for travellers up to the age of 80.
