Annual travel insurance - £2k CDW cover inc. Sufficient?
Hello, I've been looking at an annual travel policy available to me via my employer. It's actually pretty attractive for medical purposes (my main worry), as it doesn't exclude nearly as many pre-existing conditions as my current Bank Account based travel policy - I assume due to the shared risk nature that my employer has…

Talk to me about Kenya
Got my fingers hovering over tickets to Kenya for Sept/Oct time but haven't taken the plunge yet anyone been? Rough plan would be to probably just hang out in Nairobi for 4/5 weeks and use that as a base to explore - would probably head down to Mombasa at some stage and at least sample the obligatory safari for a few days.…

Cabin Luggage - Duffle Bags
Having recently travelled, I've noticed a trend for duffle bags being used for cabin luggage. I like the idea of these as they're easy to carry / wear. However, does anyone know what the limit for size for these would be? I like that they're more squashy / flexible for contents. And most seemed to hold a little more than…

I look around and the prices from other companies all seem very similar. There has been some suggestion that the increases have been engineered to recover lost…

Where do I pack camera?
For years my holiday camera has been my iPhone, but this year I’m taking with me an action camera in a case with extras, about the size of a small shoe box. Does it go in my checked-in suitcase, or keep it with me in my hand luggage? It has couple spare batteries with it, if that matters. thank you all in advance

I have travel insurance as part of my bank account, however, they won't provide cover for existing medical conditions. This obviously means that I've had to buy annual travel insurance with a company that do.…

Travel Insurance general question
I like to look at reviews for many things I buy. Were holidaying in Spain for 5 days. Travel Insurance reviews all seem to be either 'great' because the "cost was low", or 'awful' because they wont pay out for claims. Having been ill abroad before , and an Axiety worrier, Im probably spending too much time on this, but…
