You've heard you should have a GHIC before you travel to Europe. Your friend swears their old EHIC is still perfectly valid. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you're wondering whether any of it actually replaces travel insurance.

The sun’s finally out in the UK and it feels like everyone’s thinking the same thing, it might be time to book a holiday. At the start of summer, that urge to escape suddenly gets stronger, whether it’s a quick beach break, a city escape, or just a few days somewhere different.

A package holiday is one of the most sensible ways to book a trip. Everything is taken care of in one place, and you have strong protection behind you if something goes wrong with your tour operator. But there's something worth understanding before you travel, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition.

There’s something special about stepping off a plane and feeling that warm sunshine straight away, the heat on your skin, the familiar scent of sunscreen, and that sense you can finally switch off. For so many older travellers in the UK, a sunny getaway is one of life’s simple joys. And having a heart condition shouldn’t mean missing out on that.

Easter is almost here, and if you haven't booked anything yet, don't panic. There's still time to travel somewhere warm by the sea, and sometimes the best holidays are the ones you decide on at the last minute!

They say half the fun of a holiday is in the planning. Researching destinations, making a packing list, and the anticipation as you count down the days. But somewhere between booking your flights and deciding whether you really need that extra pair of shoes, it's worth taking a moment to think about travel insurance.

You’re finally on holiday and then it dawns on you. In amongst the packing, cancelling the milk, checking your passport is in date, and setting an alarm for that early flight, you never actually arranged your travel insurance. It’s an easy thing to overlook, and you’re certainly not the first.
