At a Glance

  • Flights:
  • Where to stay:
  • Getting around:
  • Companions:

Flights: book only after your hospital confirms treatment dates — medical timelines can shift after specialist review, and confirmed dates avoid costly changes.

Where to stay: proximity to your hospital usually matters more than price for the days immediately around treatment; recovery-stay needs may differ from your arrival accommodation.

Getting around: arrange airport pickup and local transport in advance, particularly for a patient’s first days when energy and mobility may be limited.

Companions: decide early who is travelling with you, and confirm their attendant visa and any accommodation implications of a second person staying with you.

Practical Checklist

Frequently asked

Should I book flights before or after visa approval?

After — booking too early risks a mismatch if visa processing takes longer than expected; your coordinator can advise on realistic timing.

How do I decide which city to arrive in?

This usually follows from your hospital and specialist match, not the reverse — we’ll confirm the most practical arrival city once your treatment plan is set.

Can Renaid help book flights and hotels directly?

We coordinate and advise on timing and logistics; booking itself is typically handled by you or your travel agent, with our guidance on what to book and when.
