Additionally, a higher age limit (up to 69 years) and free coverage for children (aged under 18) when travelling with adult relatives or friends applies, making the AMT policy ideal for multigenerational travel.
New Services to Tackle Airline Travel Delays and Simplify Medical Access
World Nomads is also introducing new and additional innovative services for AMT Standard and Explorer Plan policyholders, including:
SmartDelay:Providing access to over 1500 airport lounges or alternative benefits such as spa, sleep pods and restaurant discounts for travellers experiencing flight delays of more than 90 minutes

Enhanced Benefits across Single-trip and AMT Insurance Products
Drawing upon Collinson’s 35+ years of industry experience, the new underwriting partnership brings a range of additional benefits to both AMT and Single-trip policy holders. Customers will enjoy increased coverage limits and enhanced benefits for trip cancellation and delays, emergency medical expenses, personal baggage, and personal liability*. These enhancements ensure that travellers are better protected against a wider range of travel-related issues.

We are thrilled to offer an enhanced travel insurance experience that addresses the unique needs of today’s travellers, whether that be pursuing their love of action and adventure activities, celebrating nature or culture, those that favour short city breaks or families looking to get away and create memories for a lifetime.
“Our research found that the majority of travellers (65%) in the UK and Ireland prioritise policies that cover year-round adventures, which is why we have extended our offerings to include even more adventure activities. With features like Air Doctor and SmartDelay, our travellers can tackle today’s most common travel challenges with confidence, enjoying seamless access to medical care and luxurious airport lounges during delays.
