Hi I travelled quite a lot when I had my ICD although only to Europe. the only time I had bother was when I lost my ID card, I had always meant to get copies but didn't and sure as fate I lost it in Belfast airport it took me four months to get a replacement and I had to travel before I got a new one, Spanish security were not happy! the only advice I can give is to get lots of photocopies just in case. Have a wonderful holiday char

Hi there are no problems travelling with an ICD, just make sure you keep your ICD passport with you especially going through customs/security, you'll be asked to go through the scanner or body search, they are used to it and I've not had any issues having been through Orlando twice a year for the last 9 years , have a good holiday

Thank you so much for your reply, it’s good to hear that there shouldn’t be a problem going through the airport & Security. This is the first time my son will be flying since he has his fitted 2 years ago
