Best deal I found was from direct-travel.co.uk.
Can't remember exactly how much but cost me somewhere about 80 or 90 pounds for annual worldwide travel cover to include flying, which was much better than most other quotes I got. Lots of places just don't cover flying at all, and most others started with the standard quote then added a daily premium for each day you intended to fly, which for anything over about a week added up to a lot.
I think the single trip option didn't work out at much less which was mainly why I went for annual cover.
You can only get a quote to cover flying (and other hazardous sports, activities etc) over the phone though and not on the website. The phone number is on the website. Good luck!

Got covered with direct travel for £150 less than endsleigh, Traffords would have probably been cheaper but had forms to fill out due to my stay being over 60 days and as i leave on sunday this was not feasable. duinsure were the cheapest but didn't cover me under Under Personal Accident & Personal Liability.
Thanks to everybody who offered me a suggestion you saved me £150.
Out of interest endsleighs quote was £374 in store and £306 over the internet, paid £140 for mine with direct travel, thats for 101 days cover

Ah well.. for the record and future people searching for info: Traffords recently insured me over the phone for an annual multitrip policy, including 5 weeks flying in America, for £95.
That included all the usual insurance for holidays etc i'd be taking in that time. They made it very easy to sort this out over the phone.. highly recommended!

I did like the customer support from traffords and if i had the time i would have probably gone with them. Will probably take out the loss of license insurance with them, i've spent too much money to risk losing my license now

Loss of License Insurance for Training
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any relevant information regarding this issue.
I am about to start a flight training course from scratch and want to take out a loss of license insurance in case things go wrong.
Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction and knows about costs, etc. for such an insurance scheme? One option I have looked at is to get the insurance through joining BALPA for free as an associate trainee member and thus benefit from reduced rates.
Are there any other options and who offers a good, relatively cheap product?
Any info would be appreciated.

Has anyone got any experience with policies for 3-4 months?? All the prices above seem to be for shorter trips, Traffords have quoted my £239 and Direct Travel £206. I am going for 100 days.
Flying insurance in USA
Sure it's been asked before but I cant seem to find any references:
Going out to the States for a month this year for training and wondered if anyone can reccomend insurance that would cover me for flying training at a decent cost?

i use traffords, it works out better value to get a years cover rather than single trip though.

Yep Traffords are the boys, got a multi trip 12 month policy for under £100.
Most of the high street policy's want at least that as a 'top up' to your normal insurance for the 'extra risks' when flying. Mind you they will cover you for snowboarding, mountainbiking and chainsaw juggling for less ....go figure !

Hi
Big Mister
How did you get a quote for under £100?
My quote is more than 4 times that!!
Are you going for a CPL course or just flying for fun? Also are they covering you for medical insurance in the US as this is when it gets mega expensive if you have an accident, or even trip over a baby alligator!

did you tell them that you wanted full medical cover ? In fact very few companies are interested in insuring me. Did you also use Traffords?
If not who did you go with and did you tell them that you were doing commercial flight training?
cheers

Hi Jess
Yes I told them that I'd be doing the ME CPL and wanted the 'full monty' cover.....and that was the quote....a few pounds and pence short of £100.
I should have the policy email around somewhere on this computer if you want me to email you details then drop me a line.
Cheers + good luck
