Am I covered if I miss my flight due to long TSA security lines?
Travel insurance will not cover you if you miss your flight due to security delays.
More Detail
Most travel insurance policies include the Travel Delay benefit, which can cover you if your common carrier is delayed.
Travel Delay can cover a missed flight, but it has to be for a covered reason. The covered reasons for missing a flight vary by policy but may include:
- Flight delay of at least 3-12 hour hours
- Lost or stolen passport, travel documents, or money
- Traffic accident
- Natural disaster
- Road closure due to severe weather or a weather condition that prevents you from getting to the airport
- Terrorism or hijacking
- Quarantine
