Manchester airport closure: What to do if you’re affected

What should you do if your flight was affected?

If your holiday is impacted by the closure, you will need to contact your airline directly, who should offer you a refund or rebooking on alternative flights.

You have the right to a full refund from the airline if you decide not to travel after a delay of 5 hours or more.

While delays caused by power failures at an airport are not covered under our Travel Insurance policies, if you are abroad and unable to return due to these unexpected circumstances, we will extend cover for up to 14 days free of charge, including emergency medical cover.
