English term or phrase: outbound flights and Abroad
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!

outbound legs of a trip, domestic and international
Explanation:
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.

Explanation:
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.
