A: Flight suspensions due to operational decisions, unrest, or border closures are considered supplier actions and are not classified as covered trip cancellation reasons under most standard policies.
Q: Can I get my premium refunded after 10 days?
A: No. After 10 days, the policy is considered earned and is not refundable. However, you may submit a request to apply your policy to a future trip.
