Can Family or Friends accompany the patient?

Answer

Family members/passengers may travel without charge. The number of passenger is based on the aircraft, the patient’s health, and the length of the transport. Typically one or two passengers can fly along with the patient. If the patient is highly unstable and may require significant interventions during flight, the flight team may choose to limit the passengers that accompany the patient. This would be determined in advance of the transport. Please see that all passengers have a government issued photo ID with them if they are over the age of 16 for domestic flights and have a current passport for international flights.
