Can I fly with a plaster cast?

Yes, you are allowed to fly with a cast, but there are some things to keep in mind. Due to pressure differences in the cabin, your hands and feet may swell, which can cause a closed cast to become too tight.

With the right preparation, you can safely fly with a cast. Contact your doctor or healthcare professional to ask about a splint, brace or removable cast. With one of these options you will experience fewer issues with the change in cabin pressure. It may also help if the cast is split lengthwise or sawed open.

Still planning to fly with a closed cast? Please request a doctor’s note that states you are allowed to fly with a closed cast in a pressurised cabin.

Good to know: Transavia does not offer a leg rest service. We also don’t allow stretchers on board. You will not be able to travel with your leg in a horizontal or stretched out position. For safety reasons, you have to sit up straight during take off and landing. If you are unable to do so, you will not be allowed to fly.
