We had to use cancellation insurance once - we were scheduled to take a cruise over Christmas, and a few weeks before, I started experiencing some health issues related to my thyroid, that kind of spiraled down. I went back into my old emails and found the replies about the claims from a company called Berkley, but when I google Berkley travel insurance, I get to this website:

But it seems to be a service of Aon. Can’t remember if it was then or not. But once I provided a letter from one of my physicians (I think it was my endocrinologist), they honored the claim. It took about three months to process everything, but they didn’t fight it. If I fly Southwest, I usually don’t purchase trip insurance, unless we have spent a lot on vacation rentals that won’t be refunded if we cancel. If we fly another airline, I will sometimes purchase the insurance.
