Get a QuoteWhat is sinusitis?
Sinusitis is a condition where the sinuses become inflamed, often due to infection, leading to symptoms such as facial pain, pressure, headaches, and congestion. In the UK, it affects millions of people each year. For many individuals, symptoms can be managed with treatment or resolve on their own over time.
It’s important that you discuss your sinusitis with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure that you are fit to fly with sinusitis and that any symptoms are well managed, particularly as changes in air pressure can worsen symptoms.
Travelling with sinusitis can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
How the right policy helps if you have sinusitis:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with a sinus issue
- Carry medication in your hand luggage so it remains easily accessible
- Try to maintain your usual medication routine while travelling
- Plan your activities so you can rest if symptoms worsen
- Research medical facilities at your destination before travelling
If you have been diagnosed with sinusitis recently, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure you give full details of your sinusitis.
Cover is still available for people with sinusitis. What we can arrange depends on how well the condition is controlled, so providing clear details in the medical declaration helps us offer the most appropriate cover.
