Did you know?

The United States and the United Kingdom recently announced a ban on electronic devices larger than a mobile phone, such as laptops, tablets, e-readers and cameras, from cabins on flights from various airports and countries in the Middle East and North Africa into the United States and United Kingdom.

These restrictions are regularly reviewed and updated so we recommend you check with smartraveller.gov.au, your airline or your travel provider prior to departure to confirm if you are affected.

What this means for your Government Travel Insurance

Where you are required to place electronic devices in your checked baggage for security reasons, the SA Government Travel Insurance Policy has been endorsed to cover any loss or damage to electronic devices while in your checked baggage, but only if they have been adequately packaged and protected from theft or damage.

In all other circumstances, you are required to take your electronic devices as personal cabin baggage in order for these items to be covered for loss or damage during a flight.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact SAicorp.
