Afternooooon all
Well today im with the travel insurance people who have told me they're not giving me any compo for both my cancelled flights at xmas Oh....we'll see about that! And i quote:
'Having reviewed your claim, I would refer you to the following policy terms and conditions in your policy document:
These state that cover is provided by the policy only when the flight, international train or sailing you are booked on is delayed at it's departure point by more than 12 hours from the time shown in your travel itinerary (plans), as a result of strike, weather conditions, electrical or mechanical breakdown.
Unfortunately the delay you experienced was not due to one of the reasons stated above. Based on this I regret that I am unable to assist you with your claim on this occasion.'
Well, isn't that just dandy! One, my flight'S weren't 'delayed' they were cancelled and second, the reasons for the cancellations was because the runway at Bristol had just been resurfaced and was unsafe to land on when WET. Therefore, TECHNICALLY my flights were cancelled because the RAIN (ie a weather condition) meant that landing would not have been safe! Are these people stooopid, i said all this in my claims letter!
However this has surprisingly not dampened my mood and am still feeling as jolly as i did when i woke up
SOH, sorry about kitty you poor thing, she'll turn up when she see's fit - all cat's are like it
