Large Scale Events Travel Extension

On top of our specialist cover for your medical conditions, our “Large Scale Events extension” gives you an extra layer of protection for when something unusual threatens to ruin your travel plans.

Not every policy covers extraordinary events, so our “Large Scale Events Extension” covers you for cancellation of your trip, trip delay, missed departure, missed connection, cutting short your trip and substitute accommodation if any of the below happen:

  • A terrorism event. (excluding cyber terrorism & attacks which involve chemical, nuclear or biological devices)
  • A natural catastrophe
  • The presence of unauthorised, unmanned aircraft
  • Air traffic control restrictions including airspace closure
  • An event occurring at your departure point that causes its closure or evacuation
  • Failure of air traffic control or airport computer systems

Select this cover, and you’ll be protecting your holiday from a wide range of events that you wouldn’t normally have cover for, allowing you to travel and relax knowing that we’ve got you covered.

We consider a “natural catastrophe” to be any of the following “volcanic eruptions, volcanic ash, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, cyclones, flooding of more than 50 square km, wildfire of more than 50 square km”.

If your holiday has been affected by an event that has been declared a terrorist attack by the country it occurred in, then you have protection under this extension, except for the following situations:

  • Any cyber terrorism events.
  • Any terrorism event which involves chemical, nuclear or biological devices.

This will depend upon the type of policy that you have chosen, as an extension simply enhances the base cover you already have by protecting you form cancellation and curtailment caused by rare events. To find out the cover that is available, you would need to refer to your policy wording.
