First Directory - First Direct

Options
I have a first direct account and have just applied for first directory.

The reason being is that I travel abroad for usually a month or two each year (I'm at university and get a lot of time off for Easter and summer).

Instead of sorting out travel insurance twice each year, I thought it would just be easier getting first directory and then it's all taken care off. I'll also save money on oversea withdrawals and my iPhone will be insured.

I'm just wondering, is there a clause somewhere that means I'm not covered if it's for more than X weeks a year? I'm traveling to Africa this year for 30 days, and then to Spain for 7 days.

Will this be fine? Also, is their travel insurance any good? :)

    Have a look here - especially page 5

    I think the policy limits coverage for individual trips to 31 days and a total of 183 days overseas in a 12 month period.

    Its supplied by Aviva on behalf of First Direct so I assume its a reasonable policy..
