Will Travel Insurance pay for missed flights?

As I have just posted I will be flying to India in the not too distant
future. I have been thinking about taking out travel insurance for
this trip but am not too sure if it will cover a claim due to the
following circumstances:-
Initially I will be landing in Calcutta and then changing planes from
Royal Jordanian to Indian Airlines and flying onto my final
destination. What I am worried about is that on the return journey if
the Indian Airline flight is cancelled or delayed(happens a lot I'm
told) I may miss the continental flight back to the UK. If this
happens then rearranging to get an alternative flight(to England) will
be difficult and I may have to book a ticket with whoever has seats
available(probably BA) thus incurring an extra payout.
So will normal travel insurance cover all the extra expenses?


Found this, once u go thru the quote it gives an indication of what is
covered and links to the policy small print.

I haven't bought from them yet.

You can probably check with the travel Insurance agent...

This does not answer your specific question, but what if you scheduled a
layover of a day or two in Calcutta? It would be an extra hassle, but
probably less expensive than trying to insure something so tenuous. What
would be the likely cost of missing the connection? What would be the cost
of a more trustworthy itinerary?
