Have to cancel a flight on Aer Lingus to Europe. What options have I got? I have travel insurance can I claim on this if the reason for the cancellation is a broken leg? Can I have the names changed and give the tickets(online) to a friend?

Check the small print of your insurance policy? It will also depend on whose leg got broken.
 
My travelling companion who is a member of the family.

Is it possible to cancel a booking with A Lingus and (use proceeds) transfer to/ for a flight in 6 months time?

Was your companion covered by the insurance policy? Have you checked the small print of the policy for details of cancellation coverage?

From Aer Lingus Terms & Conditions;

 
The taxes & charges are refundable with AerLingus!

Airfare is non-refundable (unless business class).
The credit card booking fee is not refundable.

If it's a special fare the taxes & charges probably account for a high percentage of the overall cost.
