They are part of the same group as columbus direct. Policies are similar but TIW does NOT include scheduled airline failure cover where as columbus does. Price wise, for us (couple) Columbus is ~51 with cash back, TIW is 45. Declaring minor condition (HRT) gives prices of 54 and 52.

But they may not be scheduled airline to Zante! It's no good getting scheduled airline failure to find out later that you are traveling on a charter!

Catalynya - what airline & flight number will tell if scheduled/charter.

All very complicated.

Instead, where can I get:

Medical only. Worldwide. Comprehensive including throwing self off buildings if I flipping well want to, winter sports, surfing, hiking and generally no acts of god clauses.

Alternatively, what's the worst that can happen regards medical situations?

Also, the nationwide debit card (the one that's good for travel rates) - how do we protect that from being eaten in an atm or muggings?

My wife is going abroad and will not return for 44 days. The worldwide annual travel policies I have seen specify a maximum trip length of 42 days.

Does anyone know how or with which insurer I can get her entire trip covered?

Direct Travel annual policy covers the policy holder for up to 45 days.

To save me trudging through pages here, please can anyone tell me if they've had any experience of flexicover direct?

Many Thanks

I am looking to buy a single trip policy to USA on a scheduled flight. I have pre existing asthma and demylenation. These do not seem to add onto the premium but would like a good medical cover policy, just in case. Any ideas please?

ECCLESTO - Please look at Post Office (Fortis Insurance) -

No the cheapest but Excelent value for money - very lenient with PEMC's and their coverage is plenty for USA.

Stay away from any Axa policy (after claims service is poo! or White Horse - went bust in the UK then moved and started up again in Ireland and therefore out of the reach of the FSA = you have no comeback if you should wish to complain) .

sestina - flexicover is Axa se my reply above to Ecclesto (and if you want reason search my other postings).

My 12 year old is lucky enough to be going to Spain with my friend for 3 weeks and I am joining them for 1w. Is the only way to get travel insurance covering us both an annual policy? Nothing on the website's for individuals under 18.
