Flying with a bullae in lung

[Samdcp]

Large bullae in lung, does anyone fly with this?

Husband has Bullae in lower part of one lung, only diagnosed because thought he had Covid in january but he didn’t. Had respiratory tests and lung capacity is normal, which they said was surprise due to size of bullae. so no surgery or anything offered. Said will see him in a year to follow up. We are flying to Spain to visit his mother who is in ill health. I am worried about flight as never knew about this bullae before when we have flown many times a year before. Anyone have this and flys please reply as would put my mind at rest if I knew others do.

Best to speak with respiratory that he is under to check ok to fly. That way they can reassure you,

Ensure you mention it on your insurance though. Have a safe journey Joy x

Hi I have told insurance company he has copd and paid extra on premium .

That’s good to hear. You should also tell them about the bullae too as failure to do this would make your insurance useless for any claim. I sincerely hope you won’t need the insurance but they’d void any claim if you failed to divulge all illnesses etc. They are pretty harsh and will find the smallest reason not to pay out. X
