We weighed up the pros and cons and what could go wrong... We would be ok if we had an accident in UK with the hospitals etc, so risk was to ourselves on the way over and our luggage, it was a risk we decided to take.

There's also the risk of becoming ill on a stopover (eg Singapore, LA etc.)

I know, I know it's very tempting isn't it especially when you add the cost of cover to an already extended budget! I'm still thinking of cover for the trip out and back, but not for the UK.


Would be interested to know of anyone who got ill/hurt etc whilst on a trip home and the repercussions of that:thumbup:

Didn't have one so wasn't an issue, just a couple of hours in Signapore, wasn't a decision we took lightly!!!
