Travel insurance comes in all shapes and sizes and the differences are all the more evident when it comes to delays. In the event our holidays are delayed travel insurance can be difficult to claim, or virtually impossible according to Gocompare.com. But is there good news on the horizon even if all the sun you get to see is through the window of the departures lounge?

The big smiley face of Virgin Money offers us some very good news, according to the article “STOP! Book travel insurance AFTER reading this!” If you have taken out Virgin travel insurance, for every eight hours your flight is delayed, you will receive a pay out of £25 and for eight hours after that until the maximum £100. Other travel insurers will not pay out until there is a delay of 25 days.

Not all seem as unreasonable, next to Virgin, Direct Line, AA and Endsleigh offer flexible comprehensive cover allowing customers to abandon holiday after half a days delay.
