April and September offer the lowest rates (€26–€29 for 30 days) due to off-peak travel. Booking in April for a June trip averages €27 versus €31 in July.

Ryanair charges €12 for its "Travel Protection" package (BUD-FRA route), but it only covers flight delays—no medical coverage.

A: Only if declared at booking. World Nomads adds €5 for hypertension; Allianz excludes it entirely. AXA requires a medical form and costs €15 extra for chronic conditions.
