Does travel insurance cover flight cancellations or delays?

Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Yes, travel insurance typically covers flight problems caused by specific situations like bad weather, mechanical failures, or strikes. If your flight is significantly delayed, your policy can help cover extra expenses like meals or an overnight hotel. If a delay forces you to miss a cruise departure or tour, good coverage can help recoup those costs too. Learn more about how travel insurance can protect your financial expenses.
