charlene Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 We booked our one way flights to Brisbane through the Flight Centre going on Singapore Airlines at the end of November and we purchased insurance. You just never know what can happen... so better to be be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I would get insurance. We did even though we had annual insurance as the small print said we were not covered for one way. Can't remember who it was with but search for one way insurance as most only cover you for return trips. It wasn't expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yes we had insurance too, from a comapny called go walkabout who do one way emigration insurance. Go Walkabout Travel Insurance We had it cover us for the first three weeks we were there, long enough to sort out proper personal effects cover. Jules Edited to add: It is possible some disaster could befall you before you fly, without insurance you would have to rebook the flights at your own cost but technically if you aren't taking anything of value and you're prepared to take the risk that nothing will stop you taking the flights then you don't NEED insurance - Medicare will kick in once you arrive.

I have drummed it into my children "Insurance". I have seen illness kick in en route to Oz in Thailand , etc. It is an extremely expensive business, Go Walkabout for one person is 90 odd pounds for 50 days to Oz, a small price to pay really:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proud2beaussie Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I would NEVER consider travelling without insurance,I was on a trip to Switzerland about 6 years ago and broke my leg sking,my travel insurance covered my flights back home and the cost of the medical treatment in Lausanne. It just isn't worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 We never had it when we arrived but it wasn't through the lack of trying, most companies would not entertain you if you didn't have a return ticket. You have the Go Walkabout now and would have definately have used them if they had been around when we came over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
