Yes, the whole point of buying on separate tickets is to save money. So, the $10K for EK would not be for my lifestyle. However, the $75 is also out of the way, since as you said, the cheapest walk-up fare cross-Atlantic is about $2000.

Are you sure you're talking "trip interruption" here? "connections" and "misconnect" sound more like a "trip delay" policy language to me. When talking "trip interruption", each separate airfare would be separate travel. Then the policy would talk about bringing you to "your next trip destination". Of course, all this would be if "common carrier delays" are covered.
