In terms of the OP’s original comment, just goes to highlight how important it is to carefully read insurance terms. Especially if considering travel which could result in large claims – which are probably the ones insurers will do their upmost to wriggle out of paying. For context of this site, also worth checking for ‘air miles’ exclusions that are present with a number of the main underwriters.

Re the air miles exclusions now affecting Nationwide for example, my understanding is that flight cancellation costs would not be covered but other provisions eg medical that are not related to reimbursement of cost of services purchased with miles ARE covered.
