I have a lot of travelling planned for this summer. Hawaii, Japan, Cambodia, Iceland, Scotland, and then back to Scotland another time. Some of the flight are mistake fares, some are award tickets, and some are full fare tickets. I would like to buy travel insurace that covers me for all of the trips. I am of course interested in medical expenses especially in Asia. Also theft. But I am also interested in compensation for missed connections. e.g. I am buying an Icelandair ticket from BWI to LHR and then I am buying a $4 BMIBaby ticket from LHR to EDI 1 or 2 hours after I arrive. If Icelandair causes me to miss my BMI flight then will insurance pay for me to get to EDI?
I know this is a lot of convoluted questions, and thanks a million for taking the time to help... :-: :-: :-:
I think it is obvious why there are no replies - if an insurance company were to charge enough to cover the exposures that you are talking about, you wouldn't be willing to pay the premium.
The mixed connection coverage is the problem - I'm sure that finding someone to provide medical or theft coverage is not a problem, but I doubt that ANYONE will offer coverage for the mixed connection - especially with the tight connections. When you choose to by the $4 ticket, you give up a lot of protection that comes with a more expensive ticket. It might make more sense to buy two cheap tickets several hours apart - that would certainly not cost very much.
