I have been happy with Insure My Trip.
All phone agents are licensed insurance agents and very helpful.

Have your Uber drop you off by C parking which is right where the food court is on the 3rd floor.

MemberJanuary 15, 2024 at 11:22 pm in reply to: Is 2 Hours Layover Connection At Athens Airport (ATH) Doable?If you are on one ticket, then yes that should be enough time to pass immigration and security.
On two tickets, it’s always a risk, no matter what airport.
Any slight delay and you have no recourse.
Whether or not it’s normally enough time is almost irrelevant, given that on any random route you’ll get delays for a variety of reasons pretty regularly and you need to consider that as a likely possibility.

I haven’t checked the availability for the time frame you’re talking about, but sometimes you can get lucky and get a business class seat for 34k!

MemberDecember 2, 2023 at 1:43 pm in reply to: Is 1 Hour Enough Time To Connect At Paris CDG Airport?There’s no immigration on this connection (would be on opposite direction).
It’s very tight.
I had 90 minutes a couple of weeks ago and made it comfortably but I was lucky.
I would change the flight if possible.
If not, hope there’s space on the next one, or shift the AMS one to earlier.
I’m pretty sure there are several.

There are also a few other cheap flight services that get good reviews and are free to sign up to try.
One is Scott’s Cheap Flights (now Going.com) and the other is Thrifty Traveler.
Thrifty Traveler does alerts for award travel on points which is nice.

All United flights to Australia are lie flat.
I’d almost go as far as saying every mainland US flight to Australia would be lie flat in business class!

MemberJune 10, 2023 at 5:19 pm in reply to: What’s Best Airline Transfer Partner For Capital One Points?I have transferred to Flying Blue (Air France and KLM).
Both airlines are good for European travel.
Lower taxes/fees than Virgin and generally good award availability for most fare classes and destinations as long as you have some date flexibility.

MemberJune 10, 2023 at 10:06 am in reply to: If I Change Flight Date, Is Credit Card Travel Insurance Still Valid?As a frequent Avelo flyer, I will guess that you canceled your flight and re-booked it with a flight credit?
In that case, I don’t think you will be covered by Capital One because you typically need to pay some portion of the ticket with the card.
However, Avelo has one of the best on-time performance metrics of all US airlines so the chances of it being delayed or canceled are slim.
