You didn’t answer me about how long she left to do the journey and how long before the flight did she intend to arrive.

Whatever melb says it is relevant , your insurance company will want to know.

Would I ask the same question face to face? Of course I would.

she looked at arriving 3 or just over hours before. let me guess, she needed 3 weeks

Sorry, but if you asked me in a pub, I'd probably exclaim "she paid how flipping much!"

Don’t be so bloody stupid.

If she looked at arriving 3 hours before the flight and allowed enough travelling time for any hold ups ( maybe a puncture) then she did what she could.

You could have said that in your first post .

No mate - I’d expect you to have done that, after unreasonably and unretrieveably spending 3.5k of your moneys while asleep on a beach in Antigua.

Oh so now we aren't so stupid :T:T:T:T

As if I'd start this thread if she'd tried getting there with 4 minutes to spare!!!!!!!!! You only had to read my replies correctly before joining a pile on to see everything that could go wrong did go wrong.....

never expect anything for free, not how i was brought up. just don't expect to pay double due to other people, be it the taxi driver or the motorway people

Many of the arguments here are irrelevant, whoever is right.

At the end of the day, it's no good just thinking that 'someone' else was to blame. In order to get money to compensate you, you would need to establish exactly who was to blame, and that there is an actionable case against them (that they breached a contract or that they owed you a duty of care, etc.), and that you can prove that case on the balance of probabilities. Can you do all of these things? If not, forget it.

Things happen in life that are someone else's fault but there's no actionable case in law. These are things for which we need insurance.

As an example, suppose you go to bed leaving your car parked outside. When you get up it is damaged. There are no witnesses to say who did the damage. There is therefore no actionable case. It's quite irrelevant that someone else was to blame. If you have comprehensive insurance cover on the car you will get compensation, less any excess. Otherwise, you lose out totally.

In this case, you had insurance cover up to £500 and I expect you will get that amount reimbursed. But beyond that, who do you expect to pay you, and why?
