It's one aspect of modern day travel that could affect us all. Maybe there's a market for missed connection insurance?
Such cover does exist and can be provided by a number of insurers, but it is usually very restricted on the circumstances the insurer will pay out.

It's a catch 22 situation restrict the cover provided or charge so much premium that it would not be worth buying the cover.
