Every year, people living in the UK go on more than 60 million trips abroad. Most of them have safe trips, but some get ill or have an accident and need medical treatment abroad. Planning aheadIt's not always easy to get treatment abroad, so you should always make sure you have planned ahead. You should always ensure you have adequate private health insurance. If you're going to a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland, you should also make sure you've got a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) as well as private health insurance. The card entitles you to reduced cost, sometimes free, medical treatment in most European countries. The 'EHIC: free or reduced cost treatment' section of the site has more information, including:

Getting treatment around the worldIn the European Union (EU) and some other European countries, you can get healthcare at reduced cost or, in some cases, free. However, you should still always take out private health insurance as an EHIC will not necessarily cover all the costs of your treatment and never covers the cost of repatriation. There are different rules covering:

When you travel to most of the rest of the world (including the US, Canada, the Middle East, Asia and Africa), you must make sure you have private health insurance. These countries have no healthcare agreements with the UK. Other health information for travellers on this site (links open in new window)

Disclaimer: The data displayed in this web site is NOT a display of AVAILABLE flights but is a database of prices and should be used as a means of researching the best fares for a given journey on a date or range of dates. Once a suitable fare has been found, it will be necessary to contact the travel agent to check if seats are available on the date you wish to travel. All airlines sell only a limited number of seats at the lowest fare on each flight. When these have been sold, you may be offered a seat at a higher fare. However, the price will NOT be removed from the fares database as the cheaper seats may still be available on other dates or subsequently become available again due to the airlines releasing more seats at the lowest fares due to fluctuations of supply and demand. Please also note that airport taxes vary between airlines on exactly the same routes depending on airline policy and it is important to check these with the booking agent before making a commitment. Additional charges may also be levied when using credit cards for payment or making late bookings when tickets may have to be provided at the airport desk for collection. In some cases, certain fares are only available to particular types of passengers. Examples of this are student and youth fares, OAP fares, group fares and inclusive tour fares requiring accommodation elements.
