Trip Delay and Missed Connection Coverage
Delays and missed connections can quickly disrupt even the most well-planned trip. Trip delay and missed connection coverage from Arch RoamRight helps reimburse additional expenses and lost prepaid costs when travel interruptions leave you stranded or cause you to miss part of your itinerary.
What Is Trip Delay and Missed Connection Coverage?
These benefits help protect travelers when unforeseen circumstances interrupt their journey.

Together, these benefits help you get back on schedule without taking on extra unexpected costs.

- Costs to catch up to your trip or rejoin your group after a missed connection
- Additional expenses caused by severe weather, mechanical breakdowns or natural disasters

Why Trip Delay and Missed Connection Coverage Matter
Travel delays are one of the most common disruptions travelers face. A canceled flight or weather-related delay can mean unexpected hotel nights, meals or the loss of part of your trip. Without coverage, those expenses add up quickly.

Trip delay coverage can reimburse costs for meals, lodging, local transportation, and other reasonable expenses when your trip is delayed for a covered reason listed in your policy.

A missed connection typically occurs when you miss a departing flight, cruise, or tour due to a covered delay, such as weather, airline mechanical failure or a delayed inbound flight.
Is there a minimum delay time before coverage applies?
Yes. Most plans require a minimum delay (for example, six hours) before benefits become available. Refer to your policy for specific time requirements.
