Travel Insurance after a Brain Aneurysm
The Importance of Travel Insurance after a Brain Aneurysm
According to The London Clinic, around 10 in every 100,000 people have a brain aneurysm, with the condition commonly affecting people aged between 55 and 65. Despite it being a serious condition, symptoms may not appear until the aneurysm bursts or increases pressure on nearby nerves. Many brain aneurysms remain stable, with the risk of rupture depending on the size and location. Although travelling with an unruptured aneurysm is generally safe (with the approval of a doctor), you’ll need to secure specialist Travel Insurance with cover for a Brain Aneurysm to make sure your condition is covered.

Travel Insurance while Awaiting Surgery for a Brain Aneurysm
Small, unruptured aneurysms do not usually require treatment, and are managed through regular monitoring, while larger brain aneurysms often require surgery. If this is the case for you, you may be wondering if you can still get insured. At Just Travel Cover, we offer Travel Insurance for those Awaiting Surgery or on a Medical Waiting List, meaning you don’t have to delay your travel plans, provided you are fit to travel.

Travel Insurance After an Aneurysm FAQs
Can you fly with a brain aneurysm?
Yes. Flying with an unruptured brain aneurysm is generally considered safe, provided you have approval from your doctor. You’ll need to carry all your medications in your hand luggage with you, and make all the provisions needed for your comfort onboard. This includes drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated (avoid alcohol), and moving around during your flight to prevent blood clots. Make sure to declare your brain aneurysm when getting a quote for Travel Insurance to ensure you have adequate medical cover in place, and inform your airline if necessary to make any other arrangements to help you travel safely.
Can I get Travel Insurance after having a brain aneurysm?
Yes. If you have recently been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, you can still get Travel Insurance. You’ll need to declare your condition in full, including any subarachnoid hemorrhages, regardless of how long ago it occurred, to make sure you get the right cover. If you have recently experienced a ruptured brain aneurysm, your doctor will likely advise against travel so that you can prioritise treatment or surgery and allow plenty of time for recovery.
Do you offer arteriovenous malformation Travel Insurance?
Yes. If you have suffered arteriovenous malformation, we should be able to help you find specialist Travel Insurance that covers your condition. Make sure to declare your condition in full when completing our medical screening, including any symptoms, medications, or recent surgery we need to be aware of. This helps us make sure we only show you insurers who can meet your needs when presenting your list of cover options.
Can I get Travel Insurance while awaiting surgery for a brain aneurysm?
Yes. You can get Travel Insurance while awaiting surgery for a brain aneurysm. You’ll need to declare this when getting a quote, and be prepared to prove that your doctor has deemed you medically fit to travel to be eligible for cover.
