Philippine budget carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) has introduced Covid Protect, its newest add-on to CEB TravelSure, the airline’s travel insurance plan, to give travelers peace of mind when flying during this time.

The upgrade will cover up to one million pesos (US$20,700) in Covid-related hospitalization and medical expenses in the Philippines for passengers who test positive for the virus. It is now available across all of CEB’s flights for 270 pesos.

Coverage begins on the date of departure from origin-destination and ends two hours upon arrival of a return flight to origin-destination, with a maximum duration of 30 consecutive days. Both Filipino and non-Filipino passengers who are legal residents of the Philippines are eligible for the plan.

CEB TravelSure Covid Protect is underwritten by the Insurance Company of North America (a Chubb Company).

Passengers can add on Covid Protect when booking flights on the airline’s website; while existing CEB TravelSure-insured passengers can purchase the Covid Protect add-on up to two hours prior to their flights, also via the airline’s website.
