Travel Advice
Check with your doctor before travelling to make sure it is safe for you to do so. Carry a recent prescription from your doctor detailing your condition.
Carry any medication you need in your hand luggage and ensure you have enough packed to last the entire trip, including extra in case of delay.
If you need oxygen on the flight, inform the Airline before travelling and arrange to have on-flight oxygen. This can be obtained from the Airline. If you suffer from breathlessness, arrange for help whilst at the Airport.
Areas of a high altitude may have less oxygen available in the air and thus harm your condition.
It is advisable to check with your doctor if you decide to participate in any Activities or Sports whilst you are travelling, as this condition may affect your ability to participate.
