What Does Missed Connection Coverage Include?
Missed connection coverage can give you peace of mind should something happen that causes you to miss a connecting flight while you are traveling. This coverage typically reimburses you for additional transportation costs, accommodation, and meal expenses when you miss a connecting flight or other transportation connection due to a covered reason. Coverage usually applies when the delay exceeds a minimum number of hours specified in the policy.
Missed Connection vs. Trip Delay
While both missed connection and trip delay coverage address travel disruptions, they differ in scope. Trip delay coverage applies to delays in the overall trip, while missed connection coverage specifically addresses the additional costs incurred when you miss a scheduled connection. Some policies include both types of coverage.
