The problem

A travel insurance claim is a different process from an airline claim — and it's easy to mix the two up

A delay long enough to trigger compensation from the airline can also trigger a completely separate benefit — from a standalone travel insurance policy, or a delay benefit built into a credit card you paid with. But these run on their own rules: their own minimum delay threshold, their own list of what's covered and what isn't, their own documentation requirements, and their own claim process entirely separate from anything you're pursuing with the airline directly.

Treating it as one combined claim is how policyholders leave money on the table, or submit an incomplete file that gets kicked back for missing documentation. Working the insurance or card-benefit claim as its own file, from the start, is what gets it paid.

How it works

Step by step

  1. Download the Excel worksheet and pull up your policy or card benefit terms.
  2. Record the card/insurer and policy details, and the affected flight and delay length.
  3. List covered vs. not-covered expenses — the worksheet totals the covered amount automatically.
  4. Work through the required documentation checklist so nothing is missing when you submit.
  5. Track the claim's status until it's resolved, using the built-in tracker.
