Just email them about my pre-existing but it appears the covid cover is genuine but only if you don’t travel against your countries govt advice (ie FCO for us) advice so as useful as a chocolate tea pot for us at the moment.

The biggest get out clause if I ever I heard one, considering that many people would only be considering taking their insurance for that very reason.

The small print of Virgin Atlantic covid cover says the same - its seems its a PR stunt some airlines are playing

Terms and Conditions apply and is subject to exclusions based on the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advice (for UK residents) at the time of travel. For non-UK residents, you will be subject to your home country’s government advice

I’ve been seeing the company Battleface banded about for travel insurance. No idea how good they are though.

For me it would have to be a company that has been used in UAE without any issues - I shop around but normally when I go to DUbai I always take out insurance bids the airline I fly with even if its an additional policy. I get a free one with Nationwide but its not work the paper its written on.

If you find revised of it being accepted in UAE then let me know - I am still searching but I think I will or lay with till FCO gives the green light (or even a amber ) and book with Emirates as I feel safe with them

I have stayed at the burj and many others (one and only, residence etc) but my absolute favourite is the beit al Bahar.
Atlantis is great but too big and busy for me plus I’m not fussed on staying at the Palm

Will any insurance companies cover if the FCO advise against travel?

For Dubai I would be ultra cautions - I would not want a financial dispute while I was over there . . . . .
