Insurance

I'm off to the States in January to begin flight training. For obvious reasons i would like to cover my self with holiday insurance for my stay in America. However most of the well known insurance companies i have spoken with will not cover me during my flying activities.

Any companies or alternative suggestions would be much appriciated.

Just a suggestion but.... HSBC might be worth a go given that they understand the flight training process. I'll be looking for the same insurance in a couple of months so let me know if you come up with anything.

Chris looked at al the options and after making hundreds of phone call i bought insurance from:

www.GoTravelinsurance.co.uk

Cost me £256 fo a years cover which seems cheap as most companies won't touch you, or they want more money than your life is worth!!!

Hope this helps

Very strange. They must not have liked the sound of me down the phone i guess. (my cover was quoted for 365 days though)
