I flew internationally long and short flights for 13 years with Afib. Having taken my anticoagulant - I saw myself as the safest passenger on the airplane! Enjoy your trip !

I’ve done many long haul flights and no problem, especially helpful with danger of DVTs on long haul flights, I used to take an aspirin as a precaution and apixaban much safer

yes I’ve done five long haul flights .

Actually when u think about it it helps stop clots so that’s good for flights. If you are doing a ling flight don’t forget to work out the timings
