We couldn’t make it to the Holiday Inn, Sunderland as our flight from Belfast was cancelled due to Storm Eowyn. Unfortunately the insurance that Expedia sold me has proved worthless as X Cover have refused to refund our stay, despite clear and unequivocal evidence provided that our flights were cancelled by the airline. Over £350 down the tubes!!!
