I bought flight insurance for a flight ticket once cause it was a flight to a very important meeting (it was my phd defense) and I could not be late.

Sure enough, my flight was delayed just long enough that I missed my connecting flight by 10 minutes. Despite this, the insurance wouldn't cover it because one of its stipulations was that the original flight delay had to be longer than 6 hours to qualify for insurance protection. The missed connection flight was essentially deemed "my fault" since there was nothing wrong with the flight, and I still got to my final destination within that 6 hour limit.

The stipulations on travel insurance are very excessive and make it very hard to get your money back unless the flight was fully cancelled (and even then, they don't cover "acts of God" such as weather events, just maintenance issues).

Heh, the one and only time I ever bought flight insurance I ended up having to cancel the flight so I got all my money back minus the $40 I spent for the insurance. It could have been worse I guess.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."
