If you have purchased the Natural disaster cover optional upgrade, extended missed departure will cover up to £500 for suitable additional accommodation (room only) and travel expenses necessarily incurred in
reaching your overseas destination and/or in returning to the United Kingdom as a result of:
- the public transport on which you were booked to travel being cancelled, delayed for more than 12 hours, diverted or re-directed after take-off;
- the failure of other scheduled public transport; or
- you being involuntarily denied boarding (because there are too many passengers for the seats available) and no other suitable alternative flight could be provided within 12 hours and the alternative transport offered by the scheduled public transport operator was not suitable.
The amount payable will be calculated after deduction of the amount of the refund on your ticket(s) together with any compensation from the public transport operator.
