In the first instance, you should contact the airline to see if any alternate arrangement can be made or if any compensation may be offered. You should retain any documentation provided by the airline or receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses which you may incur as a result of the delay or cancellation so that you can submit them should you need to make a claim. We do not cover for cancellation, delays or rescheduling which are at the fault of the airline as the responsibility falls on the transport provider to supply you with the services you have paid them for. We do cover your additional accommodation and travel expenses in unforeseen circumstances such as a natural disaster or strike affecting your trip. Please see more information about travel insurance and cancellation cover.
We are unable to cover for items items that were lost by airlines and other transport carriers. We do not cover for any loss or damage to items jewellery, mobile phones, tablets, cameras, video cameras, personal computers, computer equipment or their accessories after you have checked them into the hold and until you have collected them again from the luggage conveyor as the transport is at fault for their loss or damage and you should seek compensation from them. See more information on our travel insurance and luggage cover.

However, at this time we do not cover any cancellation costs or additional costs incurred because of Coronavirus (COVID-19). See more information is our Covid Information Hub.
