The other thing to look out for as this will be an expensive trip, is that many TI only offer max $5000 for anything Covid related. Plus some will only pay max $20000 for cancellation. And once you put in $40,000 or unlimited the price jumps up.

I am using Worldcare for my TI of choice … worth checking this out…underwritten by Allianz. NIB was good but more expensive for us.

Annnnnd, Worldcare has TI for Seniors plus Ski Travel Insurance... both are def requirements for Team Lat34 (yes, in the same trip!!). Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm not a great help unfortunately - I went with insure&go ($154 for 2) but that doesn't cover covid. There was covid cover offered by our cruise company (Ponant PONANT Repatriation Covid Insurance | Travel with peace of mind | Ponant) for $45pp. So I've got 2 policies and just hoping they don't argue if something goes wrong!
