English term

outbound flights and Abroad

English Law/Patents Insurance cover
Cover applicable in Country on outbound flights and Abroad.

Dear colleagues!
As far as I can see the cover is applicable on outbound flights and abroad, does it mean that inbound flights (domestic ones) are not covered?

Thank you!

"Cover applicable in country on outbound flights and Abroad."

I found this sentence at this Insurance Policy from Natwest,

http://www.natwestblack.com/downloads/NW_T&C_909974_cropped....

.1. Benefit
a) Delayed Flight/Missed Connection
Purpose of the coverage is to reimburse the Insured Person for reasonable expenses of essential
purchases in the event that the travel is delayed more than 4 hours when travelling on a Trip.
Cover applicable in country on outbound flights and abroad.

I am sure you will understand the meaning within the context.
Vanda Nissen (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
yes if I get any help from them, I will post the answer.
Travelin Ann Aug 12, 2010:
Good luck! If you can, please post the agency response, when you have it, for the enlightenment of your fellow translators.

I think this is fairly standard legal language, which sometimes seems to be intended to confuse the buyer.
Vanda Nissen (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
thank you for help Thank you a lot - I was also thinking about contacting agency with this question, but then I thought maybe it is just me, but I can see now, there is an issue here.
Travelin Ann Aug 12, 2010:
Without further context it is a bit difficult to be absolutely certain.

It MAY mean
1 - flights which depart x country for another country
AND
2 - flights within other countries (domestic to that country) or between 2 other countries, once the insured party has departed his home country (Latvia or Finland)

For example, if I am the insured who lives in Finland, and I take an extended trip to the US. As I read it, the policy would cover me between Finland and the US (outbound flight) and my flights within the US (abroad), but may not cover my return flight from the US to Finland.

I would highly recommend verification with your client to be absolutely certain, with this type of question, since it has legal ramifications.

Hope this helps.
Vanda Nissen (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
thank you I think, country is either Finland, either Latvia.
So, only flights which departure from this country and go abroad, are covered, is it correct?
Travelin Ann Aug 12, 2010:
As I understand it inbound flights and domestic flights are NOT the same.

But inbound flights (coming from outside this country) are not covered by this mention.
What is the country of the source text?

outbound legs of a trip, domestic and international

I think that by inbound they mean the final leg of a trip which takes you home.

The insurance is to cover the traveler's costs if he or she gets stuck at the airport and has to purchase meals or accommodations or other such costs, which is what occurrs with missed departures or connections.

On an inbound flight where inbound means you are arriving back to your home airport (home meaning final destination, not necessarily your permanent residence) the insurance would not be applicable.

This to me makes the most sense because the delayed flight would not cause you to miss a connection (since your are at your final destination), nor would it cause you to get stuck at the airport and incurr extra costs while waiting. Your next stop is your residence, so in that case the insurance will not cover your late night snack or taxi fee if your free ride left without you - or anything like that.

on the departing flights and in other countries

Notice the 2 capitalized words -- Country (or origin) and Abroad (other countries).
The client is is insured for two situations:
1. Within his home country: outbound flights (presumably nothing else in his country of residence)
2. In other countries: there seems to be no restriction.

I don't think the coverage is designed for people flying from one place in their country to another. But more context would answer that question.

on flights departing for other countries and in other countries

It does not mean that inbound flights (domestic ones) are not covered. It means - cover not applicable in the country except outbound flights.
