Singlife Enhances Travel Coverage with First-in-Market Coverage for Turbulence Injury Benefit

Leading homegrown financial services company Singlife has introduced a first-in-market travel insurance benefit that offers a payout for flight turbulence injuries, expanding current medical coverage in its travel insurance plans.
 

This new benefit pays up to S$1,000 for injuries caused by flight turbulence in Singapore and overseas, on top of medical expenses from in-flight injuries.
 

Helen Shen, Group Head of Products, Singlife said: “Climate change is making travel increasingly unpredictable, with more frequent turbulence incidents and disruptive weather patterns. Singlife believes in the constant need to innovate and stay abreast of developments. We previously pioneered the rainfall protection coverage to shield travellers from weather-related disruptions. We continue to lead the way with this new turbulence injury benefit – ensuring our customers enjoy comprehensive coverage and peace of mind wherever they go.”

Additional Travel Insurance Enhancements

The turbulence injury benefit, at no additional cost to current plans, is the latest in a series of enhancements by Singlife to help customers better manage uncertainties as they travel.
 

Other highlights include:
 

• Add-on for Pre-existing Medical Conditions

Singlife’s new optional add-on offers coverage for overseas medical treatment, emergency evacuation and related travel disruptions¹ - even for customers with pre-existing health conditions such as heart disease, allergies or stroke.

• Rainfall Protection (exclusive to Singlife)

Singlife is the only insurer in Singapore offering rainfall protection. As weather grows more erratic, customers whose single trip plans are disrupted by heavy rainfall will receive a payout of up to S$150.

•Unlimited Coverage for Overseas Medical Claims (exclusive to Singlife)

Travellers who seek even greater assurance can rely on Travel Prestige, which offers unlimited coverage for overseas medical expenses².

Beyond medical coverage, Singlife’s Travel Plus and Prestige plans also protect policyholders against trip cancellations for any reason, including non-refundable bookings. Even lost loyalty points, such as from frequent flyer miles, hotel points and credit card rewards, can also be reimbursed at retail value.
 

These plans also offer coverage for pregnancy-related emergency medical expenses.
 

To cater to travellers with specialised travel plans, Singlife provides optional add-ons covering golf holidays, winter sports, adventurous water sports, and even overseas weddings and photoshoots. These make Singlife’s travel cover one of the most comprehensive on the market.
