All travel insurance is astronomic if you have oxygen, I was quoted £1700 for single trip to the USA.

I have effectivly given up on foreign travel - I might try a cruise out of a UK port and back, but I'd have to take a portable concentrator with me.

My late husband had Idiopathic Pulmonary Haemosiderosis & our son lives in America whilst we live in West Wales. Virtually every Insurance Company refused to touch him - in fact it is such a rare condition they hadn’t heard of it, but I discovered Avanti & they were amazing & extremely reasonable. Maybe give them a call. To give you an idea of cost, I am currently with my son in America - I am 77 years old , have 2 pre existing medical conditions - DVT & a history of High Blood Pressure ( well controlled ) & my Policy was just over £200 including a small premium to avoid paying excess on any claim.
