Can You Fly With a Plaster Cast on?

Answer

As long as you can get around without needing too much help, then you should be okay to fly with a plaster cast. However, you should not fly for at least 2 days after the cast is fitted, as the body part in the cast might swell due to altitude changes. Depending on where the cast is, you might need to purchase an extra seat so call the airline and ask if you need to make any extra arrangements.

1 Additional Answer

You can fly if you have a plaster as long as the plaster was fitted more than 48hours before the scheduled flight. This is because swelling can occur after a plaster cast has been fitted initially. Contact your travel agency to confirm if they will allow you to fly with a cast, and to enable them to prepare a convenient seat for you.
