Travel Insurance for Angioedema

Travelling with a risk of angioedema doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold. Angioedema is a condition that causes sudden swelling beneath the skin, often affecting the face, lips, throat, or limbs, and may be linked to allergic reactions or hereditary factors. It affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people in the UK. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.

A diagnosis doesn’t mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with angioedema continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with an allergic condition

• Ensure you pack enough medication for your entire trip
• Carry medication in your hand luggage during travel
• Try to maintain your usual medication schedule while abroad
• Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare angioedema where required.

The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
