The US Open closes the tennis Grand Slam year at Flushing Meadows in Queens, running from late August into the US Labor Day weekend. Sessions are long, the days are hot, and New York is an expensive place to fall ill, so the medical side of cover matters more here than almost anywhere. Compare plans for your trip below.
Planning your trip
Late summer in New York is hot and humid, and the odd storm can delay play on the uncovered courts.
The Open lands on a holiday weekend, so flights and Manhattan and Queens hotels are in high demand and priced accordingly.
Day and night sessions are ticketed separately, and getting out to Flushing Meadows and back takes planning.
Medical care in the United States is world class but among the most expensive anywhere, and visitors pay full price without cover.
What cover to look for
- Overseas medical cover with a high limit is the single most important thing for any trip to the United States, where a short hospital stay can run into tens of thousands.
- Trip cancellation cover, with your US Open ticket value included in the trip cost, can protect prepaid spend if you cannot travel for a covered reason. Check the covered reasons in each plan.
- Travel delay and missed connection cover helps if a flight delay means you miss a session you paid for.
- Baggage cover replaces essentials if your luggage is lost or delayed on the way to New York.
US Open Tennis travel insurance: FAQs
Does travel insurance cover US Open tickets?+
Not on their own. You generally need trip cancellation cover and you include the ticket value in your total trip cost. If you then cannot travel for a reason the policy covers, the prepaid spend can be reimbursed. Read each plan for covered reasons and exclusions.
How much medical cover do I need for the United States?+
Look for a high overseas medical limit for any US trip, since treatment costs are very high and visitors pay in full. Comprehensive plans commonly carry large medical and repatriation limits. Compare the limits above and pick one that fits a US trip.
Does Event Escapes offer travel insurance?+
Yes. You can compare travel insurance plans for your trip directly on Event Escapes and buy the one that suits you. Cover is arranged through our licensed insurance partner, and the policy is issued by the insurer named on your plan.
What does travel insurance cover?+
Most plans cover emergency medical and hospital costs overseas, repatriation, trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Higher tiers can add cover for winter sports, adventure activities and higher benefit limits. Always check the plan details for exact limits and exclusions.
Does an excess apply on a travel insurance claim?+
An excess is the amount you pay towards a claim. Whether one applies, and how much, is set by the insurer and varies by plan, not by Event Escapes. We do not receive the excess figure in the quote, so always check the excess in the insurer’s policy documents before you buy.
Can travel insurance cover my event tickets?+
When you add trip cancellation cover and include the value of your tickets in your total trip cost, the money you have spent on event tickets, hotels and flights can be protected if you have to cancel or cut your trip short for a covered reason. Check each plan for what counts as a covered reason.
Can I still get cover if my trip is already booked?+
Yes. You can compare and buy travel insurance whether or not you booked your trip through Event Escapes. It is best to buy soon after booking so cancellation cover applies from the earliest possible date.
When should I buy travel insurance?+
Buy as soon as you have booked and paid for any part of your trip. Cancellation cover generally starts from the day you buy the policy, so buying early protects your deposits and non refundable bookings for longer.
Who is the insurer and who handles claims?+
Event Escapes is not the insurer. Each plan is provided and issued by a regulated insurer, and claims and emergency assistance are handled by that insurer or its appointed team. The insurer, policy documents and claims details are shown before you buy.

Comparison information only. Event Escapes is not an insurer and does not provide insurance advice. Cover is arranged through a licensed insurance partner, and each policy is provided and issued by the regulated insurer named on the plan. Travel insurance covers your ability to travel, not whether an event goes ahead. Cover, limits and exclusions vary by plan and by your country of residence and destination. An excess, the amount you pay towards a claim, may apply and is set by the insurer, so check the excess in the policy documents before you buy. Always read the plan details, the insurance product information and the policy terms before you buy.
