If I arrive at my UK departure point and am prevented from travelling as an airline employee will not allow me to board my flight, am I covered to curtail and claim under the policy?
Strictly speaking there is no cover for curtailment if you are not ill. We will require evidence that an airline medically qualified representative certified that you were unfit to travel. I am refused boarding by the airline but have not managed to see the medic at the airport and decide to go home as I don’t want to wait. I then call my doctor and the advice is that I should assume that I have swine flu and follow the quarantine advice. Would I be able to submit a curtailment claim on my policy? You need to get written evidence from the airline’s medic that you are unfit to travel. If this is not provided by a medic, you may not be covered and our claims department will make reasonable investigations into the circumstances of your claim. Each case will be decided on its own merits.
