No you don't need a card and the machine does not pick up stents. I have 4 stents and have been on over 50 flights with zero problems. Relax and enjoy your flights. If you have a GTN spray put it in a plastic bag before the X-ray.

hi, we (me and she) look at it in simple terms, if we dont then we miss out! last month we went on our first flights after my 2 heart attacks 2 years ago I asked for asistance and it was brilliant. we arrived back on the 15th may and had an event on birmingham lnt carpark, completely out but we are going again. like l said if we dont then we miss out?
