Holiday insurance

[loda]

My husband has booked a cruise for my birthday. Having copd, not on oxygen, I am looking for affordable insurance that will cover my copd. Can anyone recommend one for me please. Thankyou

The affordability of travel insurance will depend on your age, medical condition and the geographic area where you will be travelling. I found that John Lewis travel insurance is a good starting point. The BLF says that they have a publication showing insurers which cater to people with lung problems. But their list is as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Thankyou so much for your help. I have now found a good policy that I have taken out with Asda for £109.66. Which gives me great peace of mind. So many policies don't cover copd or if they do, they're very expensive. So worth checking out Asda's for a policy for anyone that is looking for travel insurance. X

Thank you Ioda, sure your advice will help many on site who are still able to travel. Staysure and insureandgo are also quite good with existing illness.
