Boots new single 2-way trip travel insurance for 115-year-olds, ideal for Ryanair travellers that need a name-change?

According to The Guardian, Boots has raised the upper age limit on its single-trip travel insurance policies to 115 years, effectively insuring anyone regardless of age, but only on a single-trip basis..

Meanwhile, the Independent reports that a passenger changed his name by deed poll because it was cheaper than Ryanair's penalty for altering a booking that got his name wrong...

I am sure both companies have factored in the possibility of a very senior citizen making an outward journey in his new name to a little-known out-of-town Ryanair airport, enjoying an unforgettable but distracting holiday before checking in under his old name for the return journey, stopping half way to the departure-gate for a mental re-boot, and then not being able to remember whether he was coming or going?

...and not forgetting the confusion at airport security....

May even get a 4for3, if funded by the insurance company...

Problem might be forgetting that one has made the 4-trip booking and losing the remaining three, by de fault of the working-memory
Still, great to have these problems, when you think of the alternative...
