Hi, Thanks for so much information. We are flying to Orlando from Philadelphia in December. My husband is on PD. How many bags of solution did you put in your carry on bag? How many went In cargo? Did you take the cargo solution out of the box?

Hi Olive, I have limited international travel on PD; when I went to Ireland last fall, I was only there for 3 days, so I just checked my boxes in the airline. The two main things to keep in mind are that you can’t take the cycled machine out of the country, so you’ll be limited to manual exchanges only, which will need to be done 4-6 times every day. Also, you’ll need to have supplies shipped to you, and for international, you will most likely be responsible for shipping. Again, I don’t have actual experience, but I have heard $30 a box for shipping, and you’d be looking at a box a day. There may be other concerns around such a long trip, like how you would get labs done and check in with your care team, but that’s the info I have to share. -Lizz

How many bags of dialysis fluid are alllowed on the checked luggage? Do you need to include doctor letter in the checked luggage to explain the medical supplies?

Hi Kristina! I was told not to bring my cycler overseas because of power supply concerns, so I only ever did manuals when traveling outside of the US. I never did an exchange on the plane, I don’t feel like there is enough clean space to safely do it.

With letter from your doctor you can travel w liquids. Triple bag your Alcavis and Antiseptic, TSA won’t reseal bottles subject to spill.

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) of 1990 says that airlines can’t discriminate against people with disabilities on U.S. and foreign flights. The U.S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT) has rules under the ACAA to help people with disabilities travel by air especially those traveling with an assistive device such as a portable dialysis machine.

Peritoneal dialysis, because I'm the one in charge of the specific schedule and everything, is pretty different. I've got my machine, and the supplies that I'll need for the duration of my trip. I need to carry my machine with me, along with a few backup manual exchange supplies, and have the supplies for the rest of my trip shipped to my destination.

My PD clinic has a suitcase that I can borrow for the machine itself, so I'll hand-carry that through security and then gate check it onto the plane. While it's possible to check it like a regular suitcase, I don't want to run the risk of loss or damage, and I'm legally allowed to bring it to the gate with me to make sure it gets on the plane safely.

We rolled the suitcase through security with no real issues. I was surprised to find that it actually fit easily through the x-ray machine, but we did have to lift it onto the belt to get it into the x-ray, so keep that in mind. I had my husband there, but I'm not sure how much assistance the TSA might be able to provide.

Once we got to Orlando, it was about 15 minutes of them not knowing where my machine was, and then they told us they found it, only to bring up Jamie's suitcase (which we had checked) and still no dialysis machine. I eventually turned up at baggage claim, but it was pretty hairy for a few minutes there.

I would appreciate any and all info and suggestions. We will be traveling for 2 weeks and I know we can have items shipped to the resort. But will they loan you a cart for the pd dialysis machine? I worry about the distance to the bathroom at night….lol…..this info is for my brother who is ESRD and awaiting a transplant. Do they charge you for the extra supply bags you take onboard? I’m guessing a checked bag with supplies would be charged. He will need at least 2 manual exchanges for emergency and the supplies that go with it, but how about the 6 liter bags? I know this is a lot to ask you and I appreciate any response. We have only been doing this a little over a year. I am traveling with clothes etc via car, but wanted to know what I should check, and put on the plane.

I’m traveling to Las Vegas, first time being on Peritoneal Dialysis. I’m only traveling for a short trip. I do manual treatments now, no machine. I’m only traveling with a carry on. My question is do you store your dialysis solution with your personal belongs or a separate carry on? Also will TSA allow me to bring two 2L of solution on the plane as a carry on? Thanks.

Hi Elizabeth, I carry on about a day’s worth of manual solution in addition to my regular carry-on stuff. I put it into a duffel bag so it’s easier to carry, and just take it through security. I actually just got home from an international trip last week, and had to check several boxes of supplies for the week I was abroad; they were all fine to be checked. To carry on additional stuff, just tell them that it’s medical supplies and they’ll let you through. Ask your PD clinic for a “travel letter,” they should have a template that will explain your situation and what supplies you need to keep on your person. (I’m also going to email you so you have my address, feel free to reach out directly there as well!) Safe travels! Lizz

While I've now spent about five years on both hemo and peritoneal dialysis, my air travel while on peritoneal dialysis has been limited. I made a trip to visit my sister in Michigan years ago, when I was first on hemo, but that's really about it. Travel on hemo is pretty straightforward; your home dialysis clinic has a travel coordinator who will find you a clinic at or near your destination, and get you scheduled for your treatments while you're there.

I’m so glad you’re here! We love to celebrate our joy and find lots of it every day around here. We will happily “geek out” about so many things. You’ll find a little bit of everything, so dig in and see what’s new.

Hi Daniel, My dialysis company (Fresenius) took care of shipping for me because it was in the US. For international, I’m not sure who I’ll be using. I’m actually planning a trip overseas right now, so I’ll be sharing a post about that in the early part of next year!

We got to the airport very early, about 2.5 hours before our departure time. If there were issues, I didn't want them to be because we were late, so I erred on the side of ridiculously early.

We're home from our adventure, and I'm thrilled to report that the dialysis side of things was mostly uneventful. Notice I said “mostly”

Thank you for this website. The information makes me much more comfortable about traveling while on PD. One question though, if I have to perform an exchange in an airport, where?

Next time I have to travel with machine, I'll get some green painters masking tape and put my own “CLAIM AT GATE” labels on every side of the suitcase, to increase the chances of it being returned where it's supposed to be.

When we returned home to Oakland, they managed to bring it back up to the gate as we wanted, so that was great. The baggage handler that Jamie spoke to made a suggestion as well, that we snap a pic of the bag so we can refer to it and let the baggage handlers know what they're looking for exactly (since all I could say was “A big black Samsonite suitcase,” which isn't super helpful.)

Hi Craig, I did not. I wouldn’t want to do that, because if you think about it, you aren’t supposed to do them in your home bathroom because of germs. Airplanes are the germiest places around! It wouldn’t be worth the risk. I flew to Ireland last year, and brought my supplies. I carried on a day’s worth of manuals, but I didn’t do an exchange in the air, just did one once I got to my hotel.

Lizzy, my husband and I are going to be flying from California to Virginia Beach, Virginia in October for our daughter wedding. I am nervous as this will be our 1st trip with him on pd. Where did u Book flight That was not expensive. What exactly did you pack in checked bags vs carry on bags.? And how did you book a hotel online or by phone? How far in advance dis you book it?

Once we got to the gate, I approached the agent to gate check my machine. He tagged it for our destination, and told me that it would be at baggage claim when we arrived in Orlando. I told that this wasn't going to work, because it's a medical device, and I simply didn't want to trust it to the baggage claim system. He then tagged it for “Claim at Gate” by attaching a green tag to the handle, and we were on our way.

What did you do with your manual bags of dialysis solution? I believe they can’t be frozen, so cannot go into cargo. Yet at 2 Liters each, they are way over the TSA fluid allowance, so how did you get permission to carry them onto the flight? As a new PD patient, I’m having heartburn over my Christmas travel plans. Thanks in advance for your advice!

I just wanted to say that thank god I found your blog! my mother is new PD and she’s wanting to go travel back to Philippines and just thinking about the logistics is giving me nightmares! I’ve been reading your tips and tricks and they have been very helpful. Now, my question is, you’re not allowed to travel with your cycle machine internationally?! can you do manual exchanges on the plane if you had a suite where it’s private and not in the bathroom?

Hi — I’m trying to decide if I should go on pd or not. We’re hoping to spend 3-4 months in Italy this fall and the idea of dealing with all the supplies is freaking me out. None of the staff at my center has experience with international travel. Any advice?

Good afternoon Iam new to Pd I was wondering how much does your medical provider charge to deliver the box internationally?

At the hotel end, everything was totally seamless; they even let us keep the bell cart loaded with my supplies in our room, so we had one less time to move everything around. Protip: Bring your own trash bags! My clinic recommends opaque trash bags to help keep people from worrying about what's in those trash bags, so we had a couple extra in my suitcase to throw everything away.

Here's where the biggest concern of the trip happened: Procedurally, all gate checked luggage is sent to baggage claim. The only things returned to the gate are strollers, wheelchairs at the like. Not luggage. Because this is my dialysis machine and not luggage, it's eligible to be treated like those things, BUT the fact is it looks like luggage because it's a giant suitcase.

Update! My friend Christina, who blogs her way through chronic illness and special needs at Well in this House, shared this helpful info on Facebook: “If you have to travel alone with your dialysis equipment, request wheelchair service at the airport when booking your flights. You will have an employee dedicated to helping you with everything. Since you have extra equipment, it would help to call the airport in advance to let them know about the medical equipment you'll be carrying on in case you need a second employee to help with that. I didn't have to do anything myself when I flew to DC with wheelchair service. My aide helped me get my laptop in and out of my backpack at security and even offered to help me take off my shoes.”

The baggage handlers don't necessarily look at the tags, and may or may not see that a suitcase is tagged Claim at Gate, and send it to baggage claim.

Hi Manny, Yes I’ve checked solution before and it was fine. I actually traveled to Ireland back in November, and it was easy! (I had to do manual exchanges the whole trip, but other than that, it was simple)

Did you check in the dialystate fluids? was it ok? no leaks or burst bags? I’ve traveled mostly carrying all supplies as carry on, never tried to check in dialysis solutions, was afraid if it might burst open due to difference in air pressure. If it can be checked in it’ll be a big plus so don’t have to carry all that fluid and try to store it in overhead bins.

We're going to be gone for about a week, so the supplies are many; I'll need 9 large boxes and 3 small ones of solution, plus my tubing materials and the other things needed for set up. (Masks, hand sanitizer, catheter caps, that kind of stuff)

This provides an abstract solution to the problem, but doesn't give explicit criteria for a particular choice of n in x2 + ny2. ... Examples are 5, 13, 17, 29, 37 ...

Overall, the travel was pretty easy, and I think that leaving plenty of time is probably the biggest single tip I've got.

I'll update this post after we get home, in case I learn anything else while actually going through the process. I'm hoping that I end up being over-prepared and it's all a breeze, but we'll see what happens!
