I think it's unlikely that AC will cover anything (as the delay is ultimately not their fault). I guess I could try submitting a reimbursement request to DL, but not sure how that would go seeing as I didn't have a DL ticket. Curious if anyone has any suggestions.
I would push back. In the Trip Cancelation/Interruption/Delay section of the insurance certificate (
https://www.cibc.com/en/personal-ban...insurance.html), there's a table outlining what you're covered for, and #21 would seem to apply here ("...grounding of your air transportation due to situations outside of the airline's control...").
