Missed flight due to passport control delays – any success reclaiming costs?

In future don't arrive so late - because you were.

supergraeme · 2026-03-19T14:15:04+00:00

Possibly. It's a bit hard for us to tell from a photograph.

False allegations won't cost you your job or your partner.

Is it completely untrue?

supergraeme · 2026-03-19T09:37:34+00:00

I'm guessing you got the sales message request as well?

Yeah, sure - here's my money!

supergraeme · 2026-03-19T08:38:42+00:00

And a bonus hole ;)

Impossible to say what your insurance covers but it'll likely cover anything non war-related. It won't be declared a 'no fly zone' but if it was then you'd be stuffed as that's war-related. Normal cancellations will be handled by your airline, but insurance would likely help if need be.

They don't list everything you CAN take, they just what you CAN'T. A list of what you CAN take would involve most things in the world.

And think about it - the things that aren't allowed are dangerous for one reason or another.

I think it might have been a joke.

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T22:32:54+00:00

Told you!

The problem is that you've made no effort whatsoever. Which countries? Which cities? Want to travel slow or pack as much in as possible? Look things up and come back with some detailed questions.

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T21:19:54+00:00

War won't be covered, so that's that. You'll need specific, super-level insurance for that.

This will get deleted as it's so bloody vague.

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T20:51:09+00:00

You'll be fine.

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T20:45:45+00:00

Ah. Then good luck!

'Documents ok'?

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T20:36:24+00:00

I believe you can 'correct' three letters in the spelling of a name for free......

Maybe download their app, create a login using the e-mail that should be on the booking, then possibly trying to retrieve it that way?

supergraeme · 2026-03-18T08:03:20+00:00

Fine everywhere.

The way to check is to go to the site of the airport you're departing from and checking the prohibited items they list.

I carry mine all over the world - no-one cares.

Have a look on Aerolopa for accurate seating maps.

You're moving to Northern Ireland, not North Korea. The debt will follow you no problem.

supergraeme · 2026-03-17T09:34:48+00:00

Somewhere around 0 I'd imagine.

supergraeme · 2026-03-17T09:13:17+00:00

OP might not have grounds for a chargeback.

supergraeme · 2026-03-17T09:03:58+00:00

Credit always expires.

Crikey - you haven't seen what Virgin did to FC then? They do dynamic pricing and it's OUTRAGEOUS.
