Health

Some destinations have compulsory health requirements. Please seek advice on recommended vaccinations and precautions from a health professional - either a GP, a practice nurse, a pharmacist or a travel health clinic - ideally at least eight weeks before departure. Further travel health advice can be found on Travel Health Pro.

Travel insurance

Travel insurance is important and you should take it out as soon as possible. You may need it to cover the cost of cancellation or the cost of assistance, including repatriation, in th event of accident, illness or death.
