Request a prescription for additional medication in case of delays, loss of theft and always keep some in your hand luggage so that it is easily accessible Visit your GP before taking to the air Be cautious and have your blood pressure checked before you travel, even if it’s well controlled. The GP may also be able to prescribe those extra medications and advise on vaccinations Pack your own snacks! They might be tasty, but airlines often provide snacks which are packed with salt and may increase your blood pressure "Excellent company and great service. I have used Freedom for many years.
