Business travel insurance would it cover this?

Just a thought,

I am going to Dubai next week on what was supposed to be 2 weeks business. The customer for the second week has cancelled so I need to return home after just 1 week.

Hotel sorted not a problem but my flight is a real issue.

They want to charge me £400 to come home a week earlier. It was Virgin economy ticket I booked for £250 return.

I just wondered before I try and find out who the business travel insurance is with if cutting a trip short and having to fork out to come home because a customer cancelled would be covered?:confused:

many thanks

    Ask the insurance broker who collects the insurance premium, there'll probably know.

    Any possibilities here http://www.emirates.com/uae/ for a cheaper flight

    Hi,

    Bill the customer, or try swopping to a different date on the return to save a bit with Virgin. You may find it becomes cheaper to change once you begin your journey.

    See if you can find a cheap oneway DXB to London. Use my website as a starting block.
