This new MEA leaflet contains detailed information and guidance on all aspects of pre-travel health planning and health care whilst abroad

In particular:

We also have a separate 'To Whom It May Concern' letter (signed by myself) that can be used to explain ME/CFS to airport operators, airlines, hotels etc in relation to any assistance and adaptions that may be required:
