Canada to Denmark
Hi!
First, I hope this is the right newsgroup to ask in - if not, please let me know which one My girlfriends is travelling from Canada to Denmark, departure around June 24 and going back around September 10 (plus/minus a few days). What I would like to know is: Which days are the cheapest to travel on? Where can I get a good deal on a flight from Montreal or Ottawa to Billund (Denmark)? And: how about travel and health insurance during such a long stay? Thanks in advance Peter, Denmark |

And: how about travel and health insurance during such a long stay? Peter: you've come to the right place. Generally, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are cheaper than Friday - Monday - the former are classed as midweek, the latter at weekends. To check prices for your flight, some things to consider: - if your girlfriend is under 26, or a student under 32, then it's worth checking with the student/youth travel agency - in Canada, this is Travel CUTS - www.travelcuts.ca - in general, you can start by looking at sites like www.travelocity.ca, www.expedia.ca , www.flights.com, etc. If you find a fare there that's acceptable to you, I wouldn't hang around - it might not be there when you come back - you can also check the airline sites: www.scandinavian.net, www.aircanada.ca, etc. - I would compare fares to both Copenhagen and Billund, as you sometimes find that you will pay quite a lot extra for the regional connection in Europe - it may be worth flying to CPH or even Hamburg and taking the train, for example. - for insurance, a couple of questions: what nationality is your girlfriend, and where is she permanently resident? Please come back to us with any more questions. |

And: how about travel and health insurance during such a long stay? Thanks in advance Peter, Denmark This is easy. Find a cheap flight to London Gatwick. Then take Maersk from there to Billund? Just leave plenty of time between arrival at LGW and departure for Billund. [I'd say 2.5 to 3 hours]. I've done that before. Maersk.com or whatever the url is, shows that Maersk has become a low cost carrier. They fly 737s to Billund. Hope it's helpful. Days of week? I always try for Tues., Wed., or Thursday. |

... Thanks a lot for your replies (goes for all of you). You're welcome. About insurance, my girlfriend is Canadian and her permanent residence is Canada. She should speak to her health insurance company in Canada and establish what cover is available for her when travelling overseas. Canadians will not, as far as I am aware, be entitled to free healthcare in Denmark. She should also contact a local travel agent who should be able to advise. Or take a look at something like: http://www.travelinsurance.ca/custom...e/non_usa.html |

Canadians will not, as far as I am aware, be entitled to free healthcare in Denmark. Every visiting tourist gets free health care in Denmark, as long as they didn't go there for that purpose. How do you prove this? From the Visit Denamrk website: Illness and accidents are never welcome visitors on a holiday, but they do happen! In Denmark help is always at hand and you don't have to pay for medical treatment in a hospital if matters should take a turn to the worse. See below what to do, if you are unfortunate. Emergency medical care is supplied by municipal authorities, and hotel staff members can direct guests to local emergency centres, hospitals, or dental clinics. Emergency treatment at Danish public hospitals is free. Fees for non-emergency medical services are usually payable in cash, and are reasonable by international standards. If you take prescribed medication, you should bring a supply large enough to last throughout the trip since some medicines available in your home country may not be on the market in Denmark. Please note that the supply must not exceed a quantity of 14 days' use if you are travelling from a non-Schengen country, and 30 days if you are travelling from a Schengen country. Documentation of necessity of the remedy may be required upon entry. For more information, contact Danish diplomatic representatives. |
