Prioritise health and well-being: Consult with your doctor before travelling to ensure you are in good health and discuss any necessary precautions or medications.

Plan a manageable itinerary: Choose activities and destinations that accommodate your energy levels and physical capabilities. Allow time for rest and relaxation.

Stay connected: Keep a mobile phone with you for emergencies and stay in touch with family or friends during your trip.

Pack wisely: Bring essential medications, a copy of your medical records, and any necessary mobility aids.

Choose suitable accommodations: Look for hotels with elevators, grab bars, and other accessibility features.

Secure appropriate Travel Insurance: Getting Travel Insurance can be complex when you’re over 80. Many insurers simply do not cover this age group, particularly with annual policies, and often policies people have with their bank have a max-age rule. At Just Travel Cover we specialise in helping people of all ages, including those over 80 find the Travel Insurance they need, be it for a week in the sun or a round the world cruise.
