The Jetstar diversion to Bali today piqued my curiosity from a Travel Insurance perspective:
Some Travel Insurance products in the market include clauses that state that coverage is invalid if you are visiting countries that Australia has advised against travelling to, or to that Australia says to reconsider your travel to.
Indonesia is on the list of countries that Australia advises you to reconsider your travel to:
Travel Advice for Indonesia - Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
In the situation where your plane is forced to land in a similar country, do you really think that an Insurance company could deny you coverage if you became sick and needed an airlift, or your baggage got stolen etc.
