Mas Nug,

Menurut perkembangan terakhir pesawat 1-2Go yang jatuh di Phuket
tersebut tidak terkover oleh asuransi lokal. Untuk berita lengkapnya
saya kutip di bawah.
 
Saya sendiri masih merasa enggan untuk beli asuransi perjalanan.
Terutama penerbangan lokal. Enggak tahu kenapa asuransi itu dibuat
terpisah dengan harga tiket pesawat. Jadi sepertinya engga ada
'paksaan' membeli. Atau memang itu policy Jasa Raharja ya?

Sehabis check in mau boarding mbak2 yang jual asuransi seperti
merengek, menawarkan produk ke calon penumpang. Biasanya saya lansung
menolak. Bukan karena duitnya tapi karena kurang integrasi. Coba kalau
 Adam Air, Batavia atau Wings meminta 5rebu rupiah asuransi per orang
jadi satu dengan tiket jelas saya ikhlas.

Untuk asuransi perjalanan yang Mas Nug sebutkan itu biasanya saya beli
kalau jarak jauh dan lebih dari 2 minggu. Macem2 jenisnya. Ada yang
single trip dan annual (pertahun). Untuk backpacker yang lebih dari
90/120 hari ada khusus juga. Biasanya cukupan untuk mencover
perjalanan panjang.

Beberapa site menawarkan long term ini seperti :

Ambar

Ill-fated One-Two-Go aircraft not covered by local insurance


The One-Two-Go McDonnell Douglas MD 82 that crashed in Phuket on
Sunday was not covered by local insurance, said Chantra Purnariksha,
the head of the Office of the Insurance Commission.


Chantra said it is not yet known whether the aircraft, which was
leased by OneTwoGo from a foreign company, is covered by foreign
insurance or not, something that the insurance commission still needs
to find out.

However, airline companies normally buy insurance to cover both the
aircraft in operation and passengers.

Chantra said foreign passengers usually have their own life and
accident insurance, but Thai passengers, who are now being treated at
local hospitals, will be able to get compensation from OneTwoGo, which
will have to pay hospital bills immediately. The airline can claim
those costs from its foreign insurers later.

Chantra said that the General Insurance Association had confirmed that
OneTwoGo did not have local insurance for the MD 82 that crashed. He
added that he will try to find out whether the foreign owner of the MD
82, which had leased it to OneTwoGo, had insurance for the aircraft.

Relatives of the deceased from the accident seeking to claim damages
from the provincial insurance office can call 1122 for further
information. Payment and compensation will only be delivered after DNA
verification checks have been conducted.
