Help Needed!

Hi there

I am booked on a flybe flight from Belfast to Gatwick this weekend- I am going tomorrow morning first thing and returning Sunday evening. For such a short trip I didn't buy travel insurance - I have non refundable train tickets, non refundable hotel room and theatre tickets to boot. I am wondering if it is worth going because I need to be at work on Monday! It will cost me a lot if I don't go though. I need to know what my rights are if flybe cancel the flight (will they refund?) What happens if the flight goes on Sunday which would be no good to me as I will be arriving just in time for check in for my flight home? Can I refuse to go and still get a refund?

What happens if I am stuck in London? How do you go about getting another flight - do you have to pay for it and then you are refunded?

any help would be appreciated

anxious, Belfast

    1. You are not covered for claims caused directly or indirectly from the following:
    a) Any circumstances you were aware of at the time this insurance was bought, or at the time of booking your trip, which later led to your trip being cancelled or cut short, unless we agreed in writing, before the trip, to cover

    ^yeah but this is one of the clauses!!
