Agree with OT's advice to be very careful with Travel Ins.
On the flip-side, just learned that some friends snared by the Air Trafffic Control mess in JA recently were saved by theirs.
They were supposed to leave on that Saturday, but learned flight was cancelled at the last minute.
"We ended up getting a first class flight on Tuesday through JFK (after originally booking on via Atlanta until Irma headed that direction). So 3 extra nights at hotel on trip insurance's dime and a 1st ride home! Paula Abdul sat right in front of us. There were 90 others "stranded" at our hotel."
I don't know how they got 1st class covered (mine in the past specifically says "economy class"). I guess the Paula Abdul thing was a bonus?
