Tips for travelling with Cystic fibrosis
Take out the correct travel insurance! Travel insurance is essential for everyone but when travelling with a medical condition, it’s likely you’ll feel more comfortable with the knowledge that you have emergency medical assistance at the press of a button. Declare your condition during your quote and make sure you take out travel insurance for cystic fibrosis. It’s important to declare your full medical history to avoid your claim being denied in the event of a medical emergency.
- Since you’ll be taking medication with you, make sure you stock up a week or so before you go. There is a lot of planning involved in travelling, best not to leave it to a last-minute rush.
- When you stock up for your trip, be sure to request emergency exacerbation medication on hand. Travelling, especially flying, can be stressful on the body. Packing antibiotics just in case won’t be something you regret.
- You should make sure to pack all the medication you need into your hand luggage. Occasionally luggage will get lost or stolen. Get Going does offer cover for luggage, as well as emergency prescription medication, but you may not want to run the risk of being without it.
- When you arrive at the airport you can ask to pre-board. It is very unlikely an airline will deny you the right but just in case, it might be worth contacting them before you travel and checking their protocol.
Most importantly, relax. Holidays are all about enjoying yourself and having new experiences. Try your best to relax and enjoy your time away.
