Love this plan but did not even file a claim as it would have been below my deductible.

On June 14 I booked a one-way ticket to return to my home Country the United States after my visit to Argentina, paid $1,672. The departure date was scheduled for Tuesday June 29.
Unfortunately, a day before the trip I received a cancelation from American Airlines, which did not give me the option to rebook/reschedule the flight at least until August 3 (a months later!). After several communications with the airline nobody was able to assign me a new flight to return to the US at least until August 3. Many customer services agents suggested me to verify the availability in AA.com, and immediately book a new ticket if something became available, not waiting to call back the call center as the availability could change in the meanwhile.
This is what I did, I identified an available seat and paid for a totally new air ticket $3,376. Flying the day before, on June 28.
Once at home, I filed a claim with Generali, under the 'Trip Interruption Benefit', asking the Travel Insurance Company to cover ONLY the price difference between the two tickets (the original -canceled- flight has been refunded by the Airline). This was under the general understanding that the Airline was not able to accommodate me in one of your airplanes back to US.
The Insurance Company asked me to request the Airline the 'reason of the flight cancelation'. I gathered that information and shared with the Claims Representative from Generali, having back a nasty surprise: they have rejected the claim with the following reason: 'According to the documentation provided, the flight was canceled due to Airline schedule change...'
So, basically, if the Airline has Logistics issues and have to cancel your flight, you will NOT be covered by Generali Global Assistance. This is terrible, and real! The fine print on their policy is terrible. Do not buy from them, I've a clear case in which they have not covered a basic stuff.
I'm planning to engage a lawyer and fight for my rights! This is a typical case of Travel Insurance abuse!

I did not have to file a claim. I think I read that no claims would be paid due to Corona Virius. I hope this is not the case. We had no problem with our flights.

In spite of the terrible issues affecting the world while we were traveling, our plans and travel were not interrupted. We were glad to have the insurance and although we did not have to use it felt good able having a safety net of sorts. We thought the price was good and will use again in our future travels.

"We're sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding your experience, and for not meeting your expectations. We take customer service and the claims review process very seriously and strive to provide a fair, equitable and smooth process for all of our customers. Letting us know how we are doing is the best way to ensure the best possible service. Unfortunately, like other insurance plans you may have, travel insurance cannot cover every event that might cause a traveler to cancel their trip. While frustrating, we want our customers to understand their coverages and what is not included, which is one reason we provide a 10-day free look so that you have extra time to review your coverages."
