yearly insurance
great way to make money actually.
with the amount of flights I take I always get an opportunity to claim on delays

Glenn. 16-02-2025 08:36 AM

Yeah. Nearly needed it here yesterday too

Niamh. 16-02-2025 08:44 AM

Not if I'm going to Europe because we have the E11 cards

They only cover what is on offer medically locally, if you had to be flown home it would not cover you...I wouldn't take the risk, we have GHIC cards as well but always take insurance

Yeah we’re ok. Major stomach issues.

…you can put in your claims when you get back…?..you should follow up with your own GP/tests when you return as well because some bacterial stomach conditions can need an extensive course of antibiotics so maybe have it all checked out when you get back as well…I hope you both that you both improve and feel well for the rest of your visit and travelling…:hug:…

Always. I'm supposed to be skiing this week but my daughter isn't fully recovered from an illness and insurance covered our cancellation. Why would anyone not get insurance? We have an annual family policy and I have a separate one for work travel.

Yeah maybe. We’ll have a look when we get home.

Fingers crossed I’m on the mend

Sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip . Hope your daughter feels better soon.

You’d be surprised how many people don’t get travel insurance.

I think when you hit the mid 30s unless you are Neem :fan: the feeling of invicibility leaves you dont think we used to get insurance when we travelled when we were younger as we never thought we would need it :laugh:

Yes I do

Always get travel insurance. Unfortunately, the premium is extortionate for me these days, so i have to pick destinations with care

Redway 20-02-2025 08:18 AM

Not always but yes.
