Let's pause to think about the boring parts of travel planning. Trip insurance. Something you hope you never need, but always end up contemplating.
Have you ever needed to make a claim with your travel insurance?
On my way back from Europe this summer there were crazy storms on the east coast that resulted in us landing in a different state than originally scheduled. I got home eventually and then submitted receipts to the insurance company. I had extra information, such as screenshots of the weather and flight boards with all the disrupted flights. I didnt even need the extra "proof". I had a refund about 1 week after submitting my claim.
When the delay happened, I sure was glad for the peace of mind while I rapidly booked a hotel for the night and rental car to the next flight.
What about you?
