Ok, well my boss says I am covered through my ticket for both travel and health insurance but not entirely comfortable with believing that. They skimp on stuff alot and tell us it is covered so I want to make sure that I am covered. I am going to Indonesia for 2 weeks and want to buy some insurance for my trip. Is there a place I can buy some seperate from my airfare?? Do I have to go to the same place as she bought my plane ticket from or can I go to any travel agent??
Thanks

Here is a great link for travel insurance as you do not need to be living in your home country to get it.

I would highly recommend travel insurance. You never know when your bags are going to disappear or something is going to happen.

Your boss is wrong.

You can get travel insurance quickly and cheaply from the airport.

As far as I know, it doesn't come automatically with your ticket, you need to purchase it seperately, from any travel agency, not necessarily the place you bought your ticket from.

Here are a few Korean agents with english websites and information about purchasing travel insurance through them:

Thanks so much that was easy to do. Plus don't have to go in to get it, ordered it online and can pay for it by transfering the cash. WOOHOOO!!
