Originally posted by PAH View PostWhat about repatriating a corpse?
One of my dad's cousins (whom I have never met and even he only met her a few times over 60 odd years) died while on holiday in Hong Kong last week, after a very brief illness.
Dread to think how much it may cost to fly her body back to the UK. I think they're going to BBQ her over there then bring the ashes back in hand luggage.
Hope the ashes don't get confused for other powdery substances by security.

Please run a search in Google to see if NHS can help you, but make sure not to give credit cards to some dodgy site.

Originally posted by DaveB View PostWithout one you will be charged for any treatment overseas and have to get the money back from your insurance, assuming you have some. They cover pretty much everything in the country you are in but do not cover repatriation costs, including any medical support required. Thats what your travel insurance is for. If you need to be flown home with a nurse or doctor in attendance it quickly gets into the tens of thousands, and the further away you are the more it costs.

No idea how you tell whether it's a sponsored link or not, I've never looked out for those, until now.

I always thought I'd hobble on to the next flight out if wurst came to wurst.Originally posted by PAH View PostApparently repatriation costs can be huge if needing a medevac chopper or plane as there aren't many hospital beds on EasyJet flights.
These cards give access to free basic care but don't cover everything IIRC.
[temps fate] I've not been near a doctor or hospital (apart from visiting others) for over 20 years, so I just get el cheapo travel insurance for holidays.
