Has anyone managed to get money back from BMC insurance after a flight cancellation?
I had figured that my claim would be settled very quickly as there was no doubt I was booked on the flight and the flight was cancelled.
Seems they need EasyJet to write to me and state why the flight was cancelled.
I’ve emailed EasyJet who’ve autoreplied that someone will look at my query within 28 days!
Even if EasyJet get back to me to say a bomb went off 4000 miles away in Karbul which due to the butterfly effect cause a squall in the Channel 3 weeks later which in turn 3 days later resulted in a crew and aircaft being in Munich rather than Geneva… WHAT DIFFRENCE does it make to the BMC’s insurers? What answer could EasyJet give than will mean I get nothing from the BMC?

In reality, I suspect, it’s just confirmation that the flight was indeed cancelled and that you are not trying it on.

I think they need to see the reason to decide if it’s theirs or easyjets to pay. This was given to me in writing at the time, the only time it’s happened to me. Did they give you a denied boarding letter at the time? Mine said sonething about weather=act of God so the airline didn’t have to pay anything except the new flight. My insurance covered my connecting flight (not a through ticket) and refreshments, extra travel costs etc.
Did you check with easyjet or your insurance before rebooking with ba? I suspect easyjet should have put you on another flight or paid for another flight. Good luck with it.

No. Rightly as it turned out, I suspected that the EasyJet solution would be a multiday journey home. I figured my only chance of getting home the next day (and so to work on Monday) was to make my own arrangements. With 200 people all looking to get from Geneva to Edinburgh at a busy holiday time, on a route which only EasyJet flight direct, options were very limited. Initially, I’d rebooked on a cheaper Swiss Air flight to London but that to was cancelled. My policy said I was covered for flight cancellations up to £1,000. My costs (and claim) is for much less than that.
Though I can’t quite get my head around the policy wording, “We will pay up to £1,000″, then exclusion no.15 says,”You are NOT covered for any claim where in Our opinion the estimated amount of compensation payment IS LESS THAN £1,000”
From the policy (I’ve deleted the irrelevant bits)…
Section 10 – Missed Departure/Missed Connection

We will pay up to £1,000 in respect of reasonable additional Accommodation (room only) and travel expenses necessarily incurred to reach the overseas destination or to reach Home due
