If you have purchased the Natural disaster cover optional upgrade. extended delayed departure will cover up to €3000:
- If the documented public transport on which you are booked to travel is cancelled or delayed, leading to your departure being delayed for more than 12 hours at the departure point of any connecting public transport in The Republic of Ireland or to your overseas destination or on the return journey to your home we will pay you €20 for the first full 12 hours that you are delayed and €10 for each full 12 hours delay thereafter, up to a maximum of €100 (which is meant to help you pay for telephone calls made and meals and refreshments purchased during the delay) provided you eventually continue the trip; or
- if you choose to abandon your trip because the alternative transport to your overseas destination offered by the public transport operator was not suitable, we will pay you up to €1,000 for any irrecoverable unused accommodation and travel costs (and other pre-paid charges) which you have paid or are contracted to pay because you were not able to travel and use your booked accommodation as a result of:
-
- the documented public transport on which you were booked to travel from the Republic of Ireland being cancelled or delayed for more than 12 hours; or
- you being involuntarily denied boarding (because there are too many passengers for the seats available) and no other suitable alternative flight could be provided within 24 hours
