COPD Travel Insurance
COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and describes a number of conditions, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Living with COPD has its challenges, but enjoying a relaxing holiday may help – regardless of whether you’ve been newly diagnosed, or been living with it for some time. Planning ahead is crucial, and before booking any trips it’s important to talk to your doctor or specialist as they’ll be able to confirm that you’re well enough to travel. You can also discuss the things you should and shouldn’t be doing during your time away.
It’s easy to get an online quote for COPD travel insurance from our website, which includes medical screening. In some cases, you will be asked to call us so that we can ask you some additional questions. If COPD has made it difficult for you to find an appropriate travel insurance policy in the past, Free Spirit may be able to help.

Customer reviews
″I found the operators to be very knowledgeable and sympathetic and I would certainly recommend you to others. It is about more than just insurance to me, and to other cancer patients who want a relaxing holiday to look forward to. I have wanted to on the QEII since I was ten years old and as she is being retired I knew this would be my only chance. I was so pleased that Free Spirit could help me.″
