Retirement opens a new chapter of discovery. With time on your side, exploration can bring moments of wonder and calm. A little preparation makes every trip smoother and helps you enjoy every moment. Below you will find simple steps that blend thoughtful advice with robust protection from Staysure.
Plan medicines well ahead
Retirees often carry a batch of essential remedies. Confirm supply for the entire stay and pack extras in case of delays. Store pills in original packaging to avoid customs issues. Check our blog post on clear labelling and storage for older travellers for more guidance at the Staysure blog.
Seek airport help when needed
Airports can feel overwhelming. Identify assistance points on arrival and departure routes. Many terminals offer dedicated support for senior passengers. Notify your airline in advance so a team member can escort you through security lanes and boarding gates. This service removes guesswork and lets you move at your own pace.
Keep an eye on unexpected events
Health issues can arise without warning. With comprehensive medical cover from Staysure, you gain access to cashless treatment in many resorts and hospitals. You travel with confidence when you know you can focus on recovery without financial strain.

Print your personal medicine checklist
A printed list serves as a handy reference. Stick it in your carry bag or keep it beside your pills. Offer a copy to a travel companion or hand it to hotel staff in case you need assistance. Your medicine checklist:
- Full list of prescriptions with dosages and times.
- Contact details for your doctor and pharmacy.
- Notes on common side effects to watch out for.
- Emergency alert card with blood type and allergies.
- Travel health certificate or doctor’s note if required.
- Copies of prescriptions in case of loss.
- Small pill organiser labelled by date and time.
Tie all advice with a reliable cover
Preparation goes beyond packing. Staysure’s medical insurance for travellers over sixty offers worldwide emergency support and cover for pre-existing conditions once accepted. Should surgery intervene at the last minute, cancellation cover recovers costs for flights, accommodation, or excursions.
