Yes, Travel Delay and Trip Abandonment cover will apply in line with the current terms and conditions.
Your policy won’t provide cover if you booked trips or (opened an account / purchased travel insurance) after any travel delays were known about.
You are not covered if you miss your departure due to leaving insufficient time to travel to your departure point. For example, if your planned route would usually take two hours and it is publicised in the media, or you are advised by your travel provider, that the same journey is taking four hours, you need to allow the extra time to travel.
It’s important you make yourself aware of any potential delays to your planned route in the days before your trip.
Our Guidance:
As there is the potential for travel delays, please plan accordingly. We advise customers to:
- Allow plenty of time to get to and travel through railway stations, airports or ports when travelling to the EU and check with your travel provider to see their latest advice on how early you need to arrive at your departure point.
- Ensure that any travel documentation such as passports have adequate time remaining on them. You can check at passport checker
- You will also only be allowed inside the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period unless you apply for a visa. There is more information here
- You should sign up for specific country advice via the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
