Hi everyone

My 93 year old grandmother has just been admitted to hospital - I am due to fly out of Perth next Monday.

In my travel insurane (and most I have looked at) anyone over 85 who passes away counts as a pre-existing condition... in that you're not covered as far as trip cancellation or emergency flights home are concerned.

I'm sure she will be fine, but we need to be prepared for these things. Has anyone had any experiene with this situation? Can higher premiums be paid?

Thanks
