Flying with a picc line

Does anyone have any experience of flying with a picc line? I’ve searched online but there’s conflicting answers. 

I really fancy getting away for a weekend but with a picc line fitted for the foreseeable future I’m wondering if it’s possible.

  • Hi Upthewall, 

    Unfortunately I couldn't find any recent discussions about this on the forum so it may be best to get in touch with your doctor or medical team to find out.

    Our cancer nurses are available by phone if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this as well. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and you're able to treat yourself to a getaway soon :)

    All the best, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
