Good question. It’ll tend to be down to the insurance provider.

Speaking for Bought By Many, when dealing with claims for our pet insurance we will aim to pay all vet’s fees as soon as possible. We’ll also work directly with the vet to avoid having to reimburse the member later on.

Some coworkers of mine had a similar situation except our company paid for their expedited return (without expectation of reimbursement if my coworkers aren’t able to fulfill their claim with Monarch). Better excuse next time for missing work I suppose!

Does travel insurance usually pay right away for an alternate flight? Or instead is it reimbursement later on?

unfortunately teh majority of airlines overbook flights, as they have a calculated risk system, essentially they oversell a small percentage after calculating how many passengers are unlikely to turn up, they oversell due to this, as it makes them alot of money from overselling and people not showing up, its so profitable that it covers any legal…

I don’t even know why overbooking is legal in the first place!

The lawyers where onto this guy so fast it was ridiculous!

He’s likely to make millions in compensation… but ultimately the liability should lie with the airport security people — not the Airline — although United have proven how shoddy an airline they actually are!!

United won’t get away from this one for a while. Every day since the incident I’ve seen memes and videos poking fun at the airline.

Oh and more horrifying and terrifying than being in Vietnam? Really?

The lawyers are loving it and Sky News are talking of little else. 5 days in hospital? Really? Talk about an airline disaster and the lawyers striking gold.
