IndiGo Chaos: Travel Insurance Can Help Stranded Flyers, Check Coverage

• IndiGo is experiencing massive flight cancellations, affecting thousands of passengers and causing monetary losses.
• Travel insurance can offer fixed payouts for delays (6-12 hours) and reimburse costs for new flights, accommodation, and meals.
• Basic travel insurance plans may not cover non-medical losses from airline operational issues unless specific benefits like trip cancellation or trip delay are included.
• To claim, policyholders must get written proof of cancellation from the airline and immediately inform their insurer.
