- Do I need vaccinations?
Some travel destinations require you to have specific vaccinations before your travel. We recommend you speak to your doctor or refer to the public websites that provide health information to the general public in the EU and the UK. Examples of websites that could be of use are; European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/questions-answers/questions-answers-travel), Fit for Travel (https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/), and Travel Health Pro (https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/). Ensure that you check for vaccination requirements before finalizing your booking with us. - Can I use my European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) abroad?
Yes. A valid EHIC gives you access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during your temporary stay in 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. A UK European Health Insurance Card (GHIC or new UK EHIC) also lets you get state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free, but please note that rules on the use of GHIC in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein vary. Visit the UK Government website for more details. - Can I fly or join an activity with my medical condition?
Flying or participating in certain activities while on your trip can cause problems if you have a medical condition. Therefore, we strongly advise that you consult with your doctor before booking. - Can I fly if I have recently undergone surgery?
Please check with your airline before you buy tickets and fly. Airlines have their regulations about flying after surgery. You can also seek advice from your surgeon, family doctor, or general practitioner. - Can I fly if I'm pregnant?
