[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know if it is possible to get travel insurance and/or medical evacuation insurance for people who are elderly and infirm. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? Good companies to work with?

The backstory is that my parents, aged 84 and in generally poor health, have decided to go to Europe next April. This is a fantastically terrible idea for many reasons. However, my mother has the FOMO, judgment, and self-preservation instincts of a toddler who has missed her nap and my dad might literally rather die than say no to my mom, so here we are.

They want to go on a multi-city tour of Europe by train, not even with a group. The flights alone are 10 hours non-stop (and my dad has a history of blood clots). Their doctors agree it is a terrible idea.

Yes, I wish I could stop them. No, I don’t think I can. So, I’m trying to at least persuade them that they need significant medical evacuation insurance and other forms of insurance. The problem is I don’t know where to start.

Any ideas?

Book the trip on Chase Researve Sapphire its expensive but worth it for this

I would call them and double check but up until now that card had fabulous benefits like this [/quote]

They don’t have a Chase card, but I will call and see what their benefits are. Might be worth getting it. [/quote]
