Why This Blog Exists

We’re Not Selling Insurance — We’re Demystifying It

Missed Leg began when three travel journalists—two stranded in Reykjavik, one rerouted through Dubai—realized how little accurate, up-to-date information exists about missed connection insurance. We publish rigorously researched posts, compare policy fine print line-by-line, and break down complex clauses into plain English—all without affiliate bias or hidden agendas.
