Hi Abbi, I am going away later this year 2024. I had a traumatic event happen to me. I have a Hickman line and I plug into TPN and saline . I can’t walk too far . As this is my first flight with Virgin Atlantic . I filled in the MEDIF and have hospital letters I also have to inject with fragmin which are pre filled . I need to be near the toilet due to my condition I am so scared . Please can you give me some advice . I’m under special assist my husband is my carer too. Please advise as I’m worried . This is my first holiday since the issue that happened to me ?
Hi, thank you for your comment. Firstly, well done on taking the step to book your first trip. That alone can be hard. You may have seen my Virgin Atlantic video? Regarding special assistance etc. if you can walk to far it may be helpful to hire a wheelchair or even invest in a light weight folding wheelchair (drive do a good travel one) this way you can use it in the airport and in holiday. For the seat ring Virgin and tell them you need a bulkhead seat next to toilet so you can have you bag by your feet and are near the toilet. Regarding medications etc if you have letter you will be fine, take enough it your hand luggage for 2 days extra just incase. If you have any specific questions please ask and I will try to answer them. I hope you have a great trip!
