My son is heading overseas on Sunday, he's got a one way ticket and no insurance yet.
He wants to be very flexible about his travel arrangements, suggestions welcome. His flight is into India, he has both British and Australian passports. He really doesn't know how long he will stay in India - his rough plans are to visit parts of Africa and Europe as well and if his money lasts then onto the USA. He wants to do a lot of travel by land.
I'm guessing it is a very hard question to answer but I don't know much about the subject so when discussing it with him over the next few days I want to be able to tell him some possibilities and options.
Thanks in advance 🙂

I usually use and recommend ACE insurance through Priceline- but thats for women... maybe ACE offers insurance for men through their own website...
But tell him definitely GET insurance- I have told my son: 'you cant afford insurance, you cant afford to travel'..

Thanks, I will take a read, I think he is trying to avoid buying return tickets and from what I have heard he needs a return flight in order to be covered or it gets very complicated, I will message him those links thanks
