Allianz Partners USA just announced its partnership with Alaska Airlines to introduce SmartBenefits, a new feature delivering proactive payments to eligible insured guests when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted by a qualifying travel delay, without the need to file a claim.
SmartBenefits provides insured guests with a fixed payment when their flight is delayed, helping to cover unexpected expenses such as lodging and meals. This benefit is available on most Allianz travel insurance plans offered through Alaska Airlines. Allianz Partners USA plans to extend this feature to Hawaiian Airlines guests in the near future.
The partnership makes Alaska Airlines the first Allianz airline partner to offer the innovative benefit.
