So do it yourself, and then claim back. You must book the lowest class available so no booking F when WT plus is available.

Claim from the carrier and if that fails the insurer.

For cancellations in advance give the carrier the chance.

For cancellations on the day just get on with it yourself
FWIW I got through to the Bronze line with two minutes queueing on Thursday afternoon. Only a single data point but suggests some improvement.

I have little doubt that Mr Calder knows all the rules and regulations backwards: he has, after all, been a travel journalist for decades.

However, sometimes he might simplify something for a general readership, sometimes a sub-editor might edit his piece over-enthusiastically, and sometimes someone might misquote him on an Internet forum.
