Hints and tips
More often than not, the most useful information comes not from the official sources, but from those who have been there, done it and bought the T-shirt.
When you choose your holiday
- Check out excursions included in the package for suitability for a child with haemophilia.
Insurance
- You might not need specialist insurance. You may find that if you disclose the facts, you are all normally covered by the insurance that 'goes with the holiday'.
- Get insurance for the whole family fixed as soon as you book, in case you have to cancel.
When flying
- If flying, plan well ahead. Try to make sure you get a seat with the bulkhead in front so no one can push their seat back onto your legs. Airlines are pretty good if you give them notice, but make sure you have the details of a local contact/representative for the airline in question at your destination so that prior to departure you can confirm seating on the return flight.
Doctor's letters
- When you travel always have the originals of doctor's letters easily accessible and keep copies (in a separate part of your baggage) as a back up.
