Claiming missed accommodation when flight is cancelled and then rebooked

Hello. Am I able to claim from anyone the cost of two days Airbnb accommodation in Seville. Flight on 10 February cancelled due to Ciara and rebooked for 12 February. Any help is appreciated.  I had checked in on line days before the original flight on 10.

    Claim off your travel insurance.  That's what it's there for.
  • I’ve spoken to insurance company and they told me I’m not covered.

    Then who had you hoped to claim from?

    The Air BNB host will have held your accommodation off for you and should not be out of pocket.

    The storm and weather issues were atrocious in many areas.  The airlines or airports can't be blamed for the weather.

    is this clear from the policy wording?
    did you check the policy was suitable for your trip before purchasing?
