Atlas Journey Preferred
My friend and I bought this plan instead of a more basic medical-only plan because we wanted protection in case flights were delayed or interrupted, or in case luggage was delayed or lost. From our experience, it was not worth it.
We did indeed have a 24-hour delay due to a missed connection. I thought I would receive the advertised payout, but it was only for expenses incurred during the delay. Since the airline paid for our hotel and gave us meal vouchers, we had zero expenses and thus were not reimbursed anything. I had thought we would receive a straight payout as compensation for the delay, but that was obviously not the case.
My friend also had his luggage lost/delayed for over 24 hours at our destination. Again, there was no direct payout, only reimbursement for things like new clothes or laundry. I had let my friend borrow my spare clothes, so again, there were no expenses to be reimbursed. If we were to do it over again, I would have suggested my friend just go on a shopping spree for free clothing since apparently that was covered.
I imagine the medical coverage was worthwhile, but we didn't need to use it. You can get medical coverage separately at a fraction of the cost of this plan. I really don't think this was worth the cost, and I suggest you read the fine print before buying it over a more basic medical-only plan.
