Travel delays can be stressful and exhausting. Here at insurewithease.com, we want to make it easy for you to make a claim if your holiday suffers a travel delay that was beyond control.

Making a claim for flight delays

Flight delays can be a pain and difficult to predict. You can only make a claim for flight delays under certain circumstances:

  • You must have already checked in for your flight
  • If your flight is delayed by more than 12 hours you can claim for extra expenses at the airport, such as food and drink
  • Your flight must be delayed by 24 hours in order for you to make a claim for cancelling your holiday
  • Send us a letter from the airline that outlines the details of the delay
  • You'll need to send us your flight ticket as proof that you were booked on the flight
