Long haul journeys

Cazza1953

We regularly travelled to Australia where my daughter lives, but now I’ve had a knee replacement and a DVT and my husband had had a minor stroke, I’m worried about travelling so far. Just wondering also what the insurance would cost.

Join the national federation of occ pensioners NFOP and you can get annual insurance where you don’t have to declare any conditions you just have to be fit to travel. They do Europe and world wide policies . Google NFOP

The worst part for me is the airport nonsense. I won’t be going to the UK again because I really don’t want to entrust my original papers , birth , marriage certs etc with the passport people and I object to paying a vast sum for a passport that has long expired ( not allowed to travel on my Australian passport ) I will, however, visit other parts of Europe and if you can afford it it is worth going business class and staying overnight en route . Singapore is good and Dubai used to be but a bit dodgy now. You could also go by cruise ship if you have enough time !
