Booking flights on dialysis

You book your own flights, directly with the airline or agency. These are the things worth getting right when a dialysis schedule has to fit around the journey.

Planning the journey

• Dialyse the day before you fly where you can, and book your first session abroad within a day of landing.
• For long trips, an aisle seat near the toilets helps if you are managing fluid; keep your access arm clear of bags and seatbelt pressure.
• Carry all medication, a dialysis prescription and recent blood results in your hand luggage, never in a checked bag.
• Ask your nephrologist about a fit-to-fly letter, especially within a few weeks of any access surgery.
• Choose fares with a fare class that allows changes — sessions and clinic availability can shift your plans.
• Allow for time-zone changes when you schedule that first session so you do not go too long between treatments.

Booking, seat selection, changes and cancellations are handled on the provider's site under their fare rules. Dialysis Go is not involved in the ticket.
