    Update

    The upgrade for one trip over 31 days is a £30 one off fee - however maximum amount for a single item is £300 with a £50 excess

    This is not really enough as I have a £500 laptop which I need for the work I will do whilst I am away

    So now I may have to look at separate insurances

    One for the Travel and if I could find a combined laptop and mobile phone insurance for out of the home we may be in business - but its not looking good

    So I have done a bit more digging

    I can get laptop cover for £40 a year - which includes overseas travel for up to 45 days

    If I took the NW FP Account - I would be looking at the £80 which includes WW Travel up to 45 days plus the £40 for the laptop - thats £120 and I would get all my holiday cover, all the other benefits from NW - as well as worldwide laptop and mobile phone insurance for all 3 android phones in the house

    Seems like not a bad deal overall

    Any comments?
