A hefty clinic fee in Mexico flipped my script on travel coverage

Always skipped insurance to save cash. Figured I was young and healthy. Got real sick from some seafood in Playa. Could not ignore the pain. Visited a private clinic that day. The bill shocked me. Paid it all myself. Now I get a plan before every trip. Even for a weekend away. Worth every penny for safety.

My buddy once paid more for a lost bag than his whole flight.

Ryanair wanted 180 quid just to check a bag last time I flew. So your buddy's story doesn't even surprise me, that's the real problem. They'll charge you more for a sweater in a lost suitcase than the ticket from London to Barcelona. The whole system is built to catch you out.

That bill's shock value alone can rewire your entire approach to risk, honestly.
