I generally eschew additional insurance for my travel beyond what my credit cards provide. When I stay within SkyTeam my Delta Diamond status usually resolves issues. When I passed through Turkey and on to northern Cyprus, I flew Onur Air and was offered their Traveller Assurance Program.
For 3.5 TL (USD 1.85) per segment, the following coverages are provided:
|
CONDITIONS ELIGIBLE |
PASSENGER RIGHTS |
|
Passenger’s Missing the Scheduled Flight |
Full ticket price refund |
|
Cancellation of the Flight by the Passenger |
Full ticket price refund |
|
Cancellation of the Scheduled Flight by the Airliner |
Full ticket price refund plus a compensation of TL 150 |
|

I was coming in to Istanbul from the US the night before and had only had one day to make the trip to Ercan and back to Istanbul, so was happy to pay the fee. If one of my flights had cancelled the TL 150 compensation would have covered a good chunk of a last-minute ticket on competitors Atlasjet and Turkish.
Readers, what do you think? Good value? I would love if this were available on my regular airlines. Fat chance of that, though.

To pay two bucks for the absolute ability to cancel a flight and get a full refund, how can you go wrong. It’s a no-brainer!!!
