FWD Travel Premium Plan
I purchased the annual travel plan after my aunt recommended it to me. Fortunately, I have not had to submit any claims but the entire process was clean-cut, clear, fuss-free and smooth. I like how everything is easily accessible from the app. My queries were answered very swiftly but customer service, so all in all, it has been a positive experience so far with FWD travel insurance.2

FWD Travel Premium Plan
I have purchased the travel insurance from FWD. The process is very intuitive and the platform is user friendly. Price wise, very affordable, only SGD 102 for 2 pax travelling to US (14 days). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have to cancel my travel plan. After gotten refund from my travel booking agent, there is a certain amount of irrecoverable prepaid expenses. Therefore, I wrote to FWD and submitted my travel claims. FWD was very helpful and prompt, they refunded all the irrecoverable prepaid expenses to me, meaning I have gotten a FULL refund for the air fare paid. FWD is very efficient, the claim executive Kenneth Yap who handled my case was really helpful, they refunded the amount to me within 2 days. I am feeling really grateful because I understand that the outlook for the aviation and travelling market has not been good, yet FWD has been very helpful in processing the travel claim for affected customers like me. I will definitely support FWD in the future. I hope that FWD and the rest of the travel industry will get through this hardship and continue to stay strong.0
