Travel card
Posted , 10 users are following.
I'm sure this question has already been asked so sorry for the repetition.
I'm confused by the information online about whether we need to carry a card that describes our surgery, as we travel through airports. I haven't needed one with shoulder replacement but not sure about hips.
Info seems to be different in different countries. I'm in UK.

I was given a card but forgot to tkae it with me! No problems at either end, it did set the scanner off though.

Not all airports have the new scanners but the metal they use for hips is unlikely to set the alarms off anyway. i'm sure that any paperwork from you hospital stay would be enough.... or just show them your scar!

Coming home thro Los Angeles they did a body scan, said "I see you have a hip replacement" & let me go through.
