Fractures / Plaster Casts
You have recently suffered a fracture? Here are some things to keep in mind:
- You must be able to sit in a passenger seat with the backrest upright in the booking class you have booked.
- You may travel with a plaster splint or backslap type if your fracture is more than 48 hours old.
- With a maximum flight duration of up to two hours, you can travel with a plaster splint or a backslap type as early as 24 hours after the fracture.
- With a round plaster (closed all around) you are allowed to travel from the 8th day after the break.
Please note that in the case of a fresh fracture the air in the cast can expand in the aircraft due to the cabin pressure. This, together with the swelling of the injury, can cause severe pain and further damage the bone.
Please note that for your own safety you are not allowed to begin your journey if one of the listed criteria does not apply to you. If you need a transfer or cancellation for these reasons, please contact us as soon as possible.

Allergies
If you suffer from a (nut and/or peanut) allergy, we recommend that you take the following measures in order to minimise the risk of potential contact (with nuts and peanuts) on board our aircraft and to be prepared for possible contact (with nuts and peanuts):
- Wear a medi-alert bracelet.
- If you require an allergy/nut-free meal, please bring your own food with you and ensure that it must not be refrigerated or warmed up on board.
- If you require prescribed anaphylaxis medication (e.g. ready-to-use epinephrine/Epipens), please carry a doctor’s certificate with you confirming that it is necessary for you to take this medication on board the aircraft. In case of emergency, you (or a relative or travel companion) must be able to administer the medication prescribed by your doctor.
If you have an allergy, let our cabin crew know. They'll make an announcement to ask other customers not to eat any nut products they've brought with them, while onboard.
For operational reasons, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee a fully allergy/nut-free environment in the aircraft cabin or the airport. We are also unable to prevent other passengers from bringing and consuming their own food (containing nuts/peanuts) on board.
If you have concerns with regard to your fitness to fly, we recommend that you discuss your travel plans and this information with your doctor.
