Default Holiday Travel Insurance: I missed my plane due to my alarm not working!?

I missed my flight and have therefore lost my holiday I did have travel insurance - do you think I can claim with the reason being the alarm on my phone failed to go off?

Thanks
Having just checked thru the policy it seems I am only covered if I am ill or have been burgled! What illness do you suggest I have? Stress and Anxiety arent covered!

You are probably looking at the cancellation section of the policy rather than the 'missed departure' section of the policy.

However the normal reasons why a missed departure claim can be paid is failure of public transport or an accident/ breakdown driving to the airport.

So I am sorry but it would appear that you are not covered and I hope you are not considering trying to make a fraudulent claim on your policy. I pay quite enough as it is for my insurances without little ******** making false claims and putting up premiums.

Nope, travel insurance doesn't cover that kind of mishap
