Can I travel with Optune?
Your doctor will need to confirm it’s okay for you to travel. They can provide a note explaining what Optune is, which can help ease check-in and security procedures. Once you have discussed your travel plans with your doctor, contact nCompass toll-free at 1-855-281-9301 so you can start preparing for your trip.
Traveling domestically?
nCompass can help you coordinate your travel and ensure that you will have the supplies and any documentation related to Optune that you may need.
- Let nCompass know you are traveling at least 1 week before your trip
- For trips to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, contact nCompass at least 2 weeks before
Traveling internationally?
nCompass can help you make sure Optune is supported in the country you wish to visit. Travel support is not available in all international countries and depends on the approval status of Optune in your destination country.
- Contact nCompass at least 4 weeks before you plan to travel

Before you travel, consult with your airline, cruise line, or train service to make sure your Optune carry-on items comply with their security regulations—and be sure to ask how many batteries you can bring on board.
