1. The US Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 requires that persons with disabilities are able to fly without being discriminated against. As a result, more people with chronic medical conditions now travel on commercial flights.
2. As a general rule, patients with unstable medical conditions should not fly on a commercial aircraft.
3. The Aerospace Medical Association recommends assessing fitness to fly by seeing whether a patient can walk 50 yards at a normal pace, or climb one flight of stairs without becoming symptomatic.
