This policy is issued by QBE Insurance (International) Limited (QBE).
The policy covers you from the time you buy it until the end of the last flight in this booking. It also covers children on child-fare tickets travelling with you on this booking.

What the policy coversUnforeseen events beyond your control
QBE will refund your costs due to an unforeseen event beyond your control.
If this happens:
before your trip begins - QBE will refund the cost of cancelling your travel, accommodation and Air New Zealand Holidays package arrangements to a maximum of $2,000.
after your trip begins - QBE will refund your reasonable extra travel and accommodation costs to a maximum of $2,000.
Accidental loss, theft or damage to your checked baggage
In addition to Air New Zealand's checked baggage compensation of up to $1,500, QBE will pay you an additional amount up to a maximum of $1,500 for any accidental loss, theft or damage to your baggage whilst checked with Air New Zealand for a flight on this booking. Baggage items are covered to their current market value.
You must report the loss, theft, or damage to your checked baggage within 24 hours of reaching your final New Zealand destination. You must tell us about any payment Air New Zealand has already made to you in connection with your baggage on this trip. What the policy does not coverQBE will not pay any costs that relate to:
a change in your financial circumstances or desire to travel
travel connected with your business, employment or contractual activity (except costs you pay due to a weather disruption or for a personal reason, for example, when an employee is unable to travel because of sickness or a death in the family)
circumstances you are aware of when you buy this insurance that could lead to you cancelling or changing your travel arrangements
accommodation if you did not have prepaid accommodation for your trip (except when your travel booking is a return trip on the same day)
an act of terrorism, war, invasion, act of foreign enemy, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or popular uprising
the insolvency of your travel agent, tour operator, accommodation provider or carrier
any electronic equipment (including laptops and cameras), fragile items, cash, jewellery or any other item listed by Air New Zealand at airnewzealand.co.nz as unacceptable for checked baggage.
我买的是单程机票和单程保险，他们说我这次trip是one way ticket，不是return trip。这个航班问题属于
before your trip begins - QBE will refund the cost of cancelling your travel, accommodation and Air New Zealand Holidays package arrangements to a maximum of $2,000.
不属于after trip，所以尽管航班延期了也不能给我理赔。
我觉得我不该接收这个结果。因为在他们的wording里面没有说明我一定要买2 way ticket才能证明我这个是after your trip begins 的情况。
请问在他们的wording上，他们是不是有道理呢？

您好，仔细看了一下policy 的章程，我们认为one way ticket 还是 return ticket 并不影响claim of an unforeseen event beyond your control.
就是说，如果天气变化造成航班延误，对方需要支付你过夜的旅费。除非terms and conditions 有特殊定义气候改变航班不属于an unforeseen event.
there is one rule here
What the policy does not coverQBE will not pay any costs that relate to:
*accommodation if you did not have prepaid accommodation for your trip (except when your travel booking is a return trip on the same day)
They said because my additional accomodation is not pre-paid(certain thing). If i had booked a hotel in auckland on the night after that night but I coundn't make it, they would pay me. But you know, we were coming home, we never pre-paid for our home!作者: startagain 时间: 2011-11-22 21:48:41
如果我的理解没错的话，你的住宿费用并不是在目的地或者中转时产生的，而是由于weather disruption，没能成行产生的。我觉得保险公司在玩儿文字游戏。Accommodation 那一条对你不适用。但是其中有一条写明except costs you pay due to a weather disruption。 我认为你的费用正是因为weather disruption 引起的，所以保险公司应当予以赔偿。
