Good points, Fonsini. If I, although in reasonable health, would try to get a simple travel insurance, it would be denied for age reasons ( 75 ). The risk is too high, they say. Luckily I have a travel insurance through my premium automobile club membership, which can not be taken away. Ironically I do not even have a car any more,
I only keep my membership for the insurance. Not cheap, but could be of value in case something happens abroad. In addition I have my regular lab tests made before a trip, this only in case they started arguing, and try to deny payment. There is more small print, than a person can read. I can imagine, the premium, pilots have to pay when over a certain age, rises enormously. This must apply to FAs too, they are no higher beings...
