That’s a shame. An opportunity lost.

Re: Don’t crash in Europe
No need for sniping again--I thought that you had become a little less high and mighty!!!
Anyway--from the Gov website "Your EHIC or GHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance. It may not cover all health costs and NEVER covers repatriation costs. Make sure you have travel insurance as well as your card."
Also from the gov website :
"If you have an existing EHIC, it will remain VALID until the expiry date on the card.
You can apply for a new card up to 6 months before your current card expires."
My EHIC doesn't run out until 30/01/2025

Re: Don’t crash in Europe
No, you don’t have to lie down and take it (see, I can read) but maybe show a bit of humility and try not to be such a know all….which you certainly aren’t.Cornishman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:00 pmIf someone criticises something I post do I have to lie down and take it?

This forum is usually a friendly place to be. If you’re trying to goad other users into biting back then well done, you’ve achieved that. We will get bored of it fairly quickly though so don’t expect to much “fun” if that is your plan.

Re: Don’t crash in Europe
IIRC when booking air tickets for Europe before brexit, the carrier would ask if you were insured for repatriation because it was a cost they didn't want to be landed with.
