AXA Assistance USA Silver
We did not have to file a claim, but made note of the following for future trips. We almost missed an international flight connection due to long lines at passport control. This would have cause a delay, resulting in purchasing of 2 new air tickets, food, and lodging. After returning home, I contacted AXA to see if that would have been a covered event and was told it was not covered. It is something for everyone to be aware of and I will investigate other options for my next trip.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. You raise a terrific point which will be helpful to fellow travelers. Comprehensive travel insurance policies are designed to cover an extensive list of unforeseen events for Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Travel Delay. However, not all potential risks are covered. The AXA Assistance USA Silver plan covers the following hazards for Travel Delay:

    (a) Any delay of a Common Carrier (including Inclement Weather);
    (b) Any delay by a traffic Accident en route to a departure, in which You are or a Traveling Companion is directly or not directly involved;
    (c) Any delay due to lost or stolen passports, travel documents or money; quarantine; hijacking; unannounced Strike, Natural Disaster, civil commotion or riot;
    (d) A closed roadway causing cessation of travel to the Travel Supplier or destination of the Covered Trip, and substantiated by the department of transportation, state police, or other like authority;
    (e) Severe storms that cause a route closing validated by the National Weather Service records and local Department of Transportation records;
    (f) Avalanche that delays You from reaching Your destination or Your primary residence when returning home; or
    (g) Landslide that delays You from reaching Your destination or Your primary residence when returning home.

    The above list is extremely inclusive, but does not include scenarios such as long lines at an airport. In fact, we may not offer a plan which would cover this specific event or other similar events for Trip Interruption or Travel Delay. Please keep in mind, the terms and conditions of each policy will differ. Please refer to policy certificate to learn about how your policy benefits work. If you have questions regarding our travel insurance products or have general coverage questions, please call us at 800-487-4722.

      Additionally, the Missed Connection benefit available through the AXA Assistance USA Silver Policy offers coverage when the missed connection is the result of a delay of 3 hours or more caused by a Common Carrier. In this case, the delay at the security checkpoint itself would not constitute a covered peril.

      MISSED CONNECTION
      We will pay the benefit shown in the Schedule of Benefits if You missed Your Covered Trip departure due to cancellation or delay for 3 or more hours of all regularly scheduled airline flights due to Inclement Weather or any delay caused by a Common Carrier. Benefits of up to the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits are provided to cover additional Transportation expenses needed for You to join the departed Covered Trip. Coverage is secondary to any compensation provided by a Common Carrier. Coverage will not be provided to You if You are able to meet Your scheduled departure but cancel Your Covered Trip due to Inclement Weather.

      We would be pleased to assist you with any additional coverage related questions.

      Thank you for your business.
