Travel insurance for stranded U.S. fliers in Venezuela.

Thousands of people were stranded abroad as the U.S. shut down airspace due to the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro, leading to cancelled flights and extra expenses. Industry experts advise affected travellers to seek refunds and file insurance claims. While coverage may not apply to certain situations like war or civil unrest, travel insurance can protect against airline issues and personal emergencies. It is recommended to save receipts, file claims with airlines, and utilize insurance assistance for rebooking flights and accommodations.
