Travelling after a surgery or a significant illness can be challenging and potentially risky, so it’s essential to consider several factors. Here are a few guidelines in case you need to travel post-surgery:Medication and prescription: If you’ve had surgery and need to travel, it’s advisable to carry the necessary medication with you in your cabin baggage. Ensure you have prescriptions for these medications as well.Medication storage: Understand that medication cannot be refrigerated on board an aircraft. If your medication requires temperature control, consider carrying a cool bag or vacuum flask. Discuss suitable options with your pharmacist to ensure your medication remains effective.Medical equipment: For most medical equipment, including devices like nebulisers and ventilators, medical clearance is required. This ensures your equipment is safe to bring on board and use during the flight.Battery-operated equipment: Keep in mind that your medical equipment must be capable of running on battery power. We cannot guarantee access to the power supply onboard the aircraft.Usage restrictions: Understand that authorised medical equipment may have usage restrictions during different phases of the flight. Typically, such equipment cannot be used during taxi, take-off, approach, and landing for safety reasons.Travelling after surgery or illness requires careful planning and consideration of your health.
