MedicalEmergency

We’re supposed to cruise in two weeks but my son has a new medical issue and we can’t go. I did purchase Allianz travel insurance. Do I cancel with Royal Caribbean first to start the process and get port fees and taxes refunded? Then file the claim with Allianz after? When...

I had to cancel a flight this week because of a health issue. Been to the ER four times in the past month and still waiting to see a specialist for an actual diagnosis. Called Qatar to cancel and explained it was medical. The agent asked me to elaborate, then said it doesn’t...

On AA 1460 from SAN to DFW tonight and just need to vent. About an hour before landing, the FAs asked if there was any medical personnel onboard for a passenger in first class. Clearly something serious enough to warrant the call. We land in Dallas and pull into the gate at...

Was on a flight to Hawai’i when they called for medical professionals. A few passengers jumped up right away, and the FAs pulled out a red medical bag, then later came back for a big black one. The man was moved a few rows up and met by medics after landing. Kind of intense to...
