Pare Down Your Metal Objects for Airport Security

Posted on 2 March 2009 in Uncategorized by admin

In your travels – at airports , and train stations you will wish that your travels are as prompt , quick and easy as need be.  Even as an escort alone take care to think of what to wear and not to wear when it comes time for security checks.  Have you ever known an aircraft to be held back for one passenger being delayed at the screening area or at customs ?   If you are on way for medical treatment or acting as an escort – you will have tests , procedures and hospitality and accommodations all in place – set by date and reserved.  Why complicate matters unnecessarily ?

First thing first – think like a metal detector.  Ensure that there are no metal objects on your person or clothing  or as little as need be.   Items such as coins  and metal buckles on belts and shoes are widely thought of .  Ditto that for coins.  However there are other items which may not be thought of  – pens , heavy boots with metal inside ( heavy soled workboots , expensive shoes are two types of footwear which may well have metal in them)   Lastly on the list do not forget other items with metal in them – pens ,  clothes with metal studs and even bras with metal frames in them.

Travel Insurance – Does it Cover Events of Terrorist Attacks

Posted on 25 December 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

It may seem to be an odd concern in relation to travel of the question of how your travel insurance does or does not protect you in the case of terror and terror attacks.

It can be said that overall your chances of being affected by a terror or terrorism attack are remote. This is true. However there may be additional effects of a terrorism attack not only on the direct victims but on travelers who are in the country of the place of attack or even other countries.

You, your travel companions or even the country that has the attack may not directly lie in your path. Yet your trip either at the point of destination or even way by points may be directly affected. You need not have been in Mumbai or even India itself to have had your travel plans greatly affected.

For example your medical treatment may have been assigned a certain date and yet due to the attacks you find that all air travel are grounded.

Does your travel insurance cover such for events for cancellations or delays? Are additional hotel and travel costs covered? Will any replacement travel fares or future trips for this purpose assigned covered or will it all come under the clauses of “not covered due to acts of war or terrorism “or some other “acts of …” coverage.

Medical Tourism Stats on the Increase

Posted on 19 September 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

Medical tourism is a topical subject.  It depends on which side of the fence you are on – patient , patient with or without adequate funds , on what side of the “patient que”  you are on , or is there at queue at all.  People travel to foreign countries for products or services all the time .  Whether it is someone seeking jewelery or even a salami that is not available “at home”  or a Canadian on their way to purchase a Canadian NAFTA Canadian made Toyota only to discover that when the costs are all counted they are ahead of the game financially and even had a sort of holiday or vacation to boot.  It may be true that the lovely people at the border may make your like difficult, even if you are well prepared – but at the end of the day you have your car and your savings and that’s  that.

Medial tourism is no different.  Patients travel to foreign countries in order to receive medical care or medical care , or pharmaceuticals  that are not available at home , at a price they can afford , the wait time is too long , or perhaps they wish to have their medical services , and their recovery period away from prying eyes – often in the case of cosmetic surgeries.

In fact , the numbers bear up the increased popularity of “medical tourism”.  Recently Deloite – the international respected consulting firm came up with the conclusions that during the fiscal year of 2007 an estimated 750,000 Americans travelled abroad for medical care.  In fact the prevailing estimate that by the year of 2010  the number of American medical tourists may swell to 6 million patients.
