I have been without infection for 2 weeks now- first time this year. I would love to fly to Scotland, which is only 1 hour in October to see my daughter.

Is it ok to fly?? and what do I need to know? Thanks. xxxx

I had the fit to fly test which I failed, it just meant I needed oxygen when I flew. Had no problems at all and it was a two and a half hour flight. Good luck. Sue

You need a fit to fly test. I am waiting for mine and would like to see my daughter who lives in NZ. Best of luck.
