Thanks, that's really surprising...not the stiff upper lip...but the repatriation.

I thought it's only for people with residence + VIP client in a bank or something.

Rega offers the service for 25.- a year iirc

> If travellers have a medical problem while they are abroad.

Just when you are travelling with them in the first place... Not for this use-case, where your fall ill in your home country.

And, nothing there says they will pay you back fully.

Rega is not a traveling agency. It’s an air ambulance company.

My suggestion next time you do some tourism: ask. Get quotes. Read the whole contract.

You will be surprised what some places offer.

So travelling should be based on the countries where there are good hospitals and then spending time on quotes and reading contracts?

Who would take that advice? It's the worst advice I heard in several years.

I thought travelling was about places that you want to see and trying to avoid hospitals.
