Award Ticket/Insurance Question
Booked two Flights from ATL>DEN in December via my skymiles. I purchased the travel insurance option on this just in case something came up. In the rare possibility that I cannot make the flight will the insurance purchased give me my miles back in full?

Last time I read the terms and conditions on the insurance policy they sell at checkout for an award flight it doesn't cover the cost of the flight (the miles). The insurance is also much much cheaper than if it was a revenue ticket because of this. It does cover like medical expenses and some extra baggage insurance but I found it was equal to what I'm already getting from my credit card so would be a waste of money for me. You should of gotten your policy details in an email, check them out!

Just did pulled up a test award booking and this is the first line in the list of benefits --
"Redeposit fee coverage (if you cancel your trip up to 72 hours before departure pursuant to Delta's Award Ticket cancellation policy)"
The issue is DL's 72 hour no-redeposit rule (as mentioned above). Although I believe there are people here who have gotten in waived in certain cases (injury, illness, etc.).
