If your insurance will cover you, you may be able to just buy a ticket back home. If AS won't reimburse you for it, the insurance might.

Definitely look into the terms and conditions to be sure, but this might be another option, if you don't want to risk the expense yourself.

Problem is that flight wasn't cancelled or interrupted; ticket was cancelled. What is the "insurable reason" the ticket was cancelled, which the insurer will demand?
