Can you fly with a broken arm????

[carron81]

Hi

My brother broke his arm yesterday in 3 places from the elbow to the wrist. He had an op last night and he's had metal plates put in and a cast on.

He doesn't get sick pay at work so he's thinking he'll have to use his whole years holidays as he's a mechanic and I was saying to him since me, my boyfriend and daughter are going to tenerife in 2 weeks to meet my dad he might as well come along since he'll have no holidays left when he goes back to work

Spoke to someone who works abroad and they've said there can sometimes be problems flying with a cast on and it can depend on the size of cast/injury etc

Does anyone know anything about this? Surely if he gets a doctors not it'll be okay

Just get a doctors clearence note first
