Security Line travel delays take longer than expected. You have to plan enough time between flights to account for a longer-than-expected wait.

Why is this important, even if you have travel insurance?

The reason why is because a common travel insurance exclusion is “Any government regulation or prohibition”. Every policy words this a little differently, but in essence, Security Line travel delays aren’t covered. This includes waiting to get through airport security.

We find that few people build in enough time, so they inadvertantly end up with some kind of delay in an airport somewhere. And, more often than not, they think, “I don’t have to hurry. I have travel insurance.”

I’m sorry if I’m too honest here, but it’s better to know how travel insurance works before you spend any money on it.
