Incidentally, we've had some great experiences with Covermore but we always buy our insurance directly with them and never through Flight Centre.

Airfares are costly enough without the teeny tiny fine print. Thanks for the info. I usually book my flights directly with the airline but the refund or cancellation side of things can be confusing.
