    There is such a coverage for flight insurance. It is known as common carrier accidental death insurance. It can be purchased online, through travel agents, insurance agents and even most airports. It is a very low priced high benefit life insurance that will only cover you for that particular flight and return flight. This is a very low risk policy for insurance companies hence the low premium. Flying is still the safest way to travel and very few policies every have a claim.

    That is a great question! You bet there is, and insurance companies love to sell it! The safety record for flights is really very good, and it is very rare when the company has to pay a claim, so they make a lot of money on these policies. Before you purchase one though, check with your credit card company - many times that is a perk they offer for free in their benefits package that everyone forgets about. Thanks for asking!
