International Travel
Thu, 05/24/2018 - 12:28PMHi all! I am new to the community and have a few questions about international travel.
My boyfriend (27yoa) had his LVAD implanted about 6 months ago. We just took our first trip from MSP to DC and had no problem with luggage at all (and we flew Spirit!). We took one wheeled carry-on and everything fit. We took the wall unit, charging station, and all the batteries we have plus the shower bag, dressing changes, medications, and a backpack. We brought a letter from his doctors and security was a breeze.
We are now considering a trip to Rome in September. Has anyone traveled to Italy before? Not too nervous about the long flight. We have so many batteries including 2 extra sets that were given to us by a previous LVAD user. We are mostly wondering about a power converter? Can the wall unit and charging station be plugged into a converter? Other things to consider?
Thank you!
