On Wednesday (June 17, 2026), Emirates announced the launch of ‘Comprehensive Travel Cover,’ in partnership with Travel Guard, a leader in travel insurance.  The new insurance cover is one of the most comprehensive travel insurance packages available in the industry today. The industry-first travel insurance product includes medical cover for conflict-related incidents, and is backed by airline-managed hotel accommodations and extended-stay support across a range of disruption scenarios.  When itineraries include connecting on other airlines or Emirates services are unavailable, Emirates will also rebook disrupted guests to their destination at no additional cost, including where flights have been cancelled due to conflict-related disruption.

In Wednesday’s announcement, Emirates Airline’s President, Sir Tim Clark, said,

“Listening to customer feedback, we realised that travel demand remains strong but there was a gap in the market with regards to travel insurance cover. Therefore, we acted to address our customers’ needs.  Together with Travel Guard, a leader in the global insurance industry, Emirates is pleased to offer an enhanced travel insurance product that is as comprehensive as it is reassuring for a wider range of situations.  With strong demand for travel in summer, we are proud to offer our customers added confidence in planning their journeys to and through Dubai when they book with Emirates.”

Also commenting on the rollout of ‘Comprehensive Travel Cover,’ Travel Guard’s Head of Global Business & partnerships, Russel Antonio, said,

“Our long-standing collaboration with Emirates is grounded in a shared commitment to elevating the customer experience.  By combining our strengths once again, this new comprehensive travel product offers enhanced protection that sets a new benchmark in the industry and responds to the needs of today’s travellers.”

Emirates’ guests can now plan and travel with even greater peace of mind from the moment they book their journey, with expanded medical cover in the insurance product, supported by Travel Guard, and additional disruption support by Emirates on top of the existing travel insurance offering.  Emirates’ new Comprehensive Travel Cover includes trip cancellation cover, compensation for baggage delay or loss, unlimited medical expense and emergency evacuation cover worldwide, among other generous benefits. Newly added conflict cover provides reimbursement for medical expenses of up to US$ 25,000 and a free trip extension of up to 30 days. The cover is not restricted by government travel advice.

Rooted in Emirates' 'fly better' brand promise and their commitment to customer care is airline-managed hotel accommodations during disruptions, including airspace closures (T&Cs apply).  This is in addition to existing customer-first benefits such as a free date change for tickets booked from April 2, 2026, and the option to ‘hold my fare’ for 24 hours free of charge, giving travellers flexibility, reassurance, and support at every step.  Emirates Comprehensive Travel Cover is available today at an accessible premium, and can be purchased on the Emirates website at the time of booking or added to existing bookings via Manage Booking.
