We don’t purchase insurance to cover the cost of the airfare, etc. However, we have purchased medical/evacuation insurance. Most recently, our son spent time in Nicaragua and then backpacked around Europe for 6 weeks. We purchased a RoamRight policy through Squaremouth.com for around $45 (for the Europe trip) I think. It provided some extra medical coverage while in Europe, but we mostly bought it for the medical evacuation insurance. We don’t purchase travel insurance as there are usually so many restrictions that it is not worth it to us. For domestic travel we try to use Southwest so if something happens, we can just cancel with no penalties.
