Question
Hello,
I plan to fly to Italy at the end of this month. I will have a cast on one arm and a leg brace on and am concerned with seating and comfort during my flghts. Are there any accomodations made for people flying with injury handicaps?

Answer
Dear Teri,

Due to your condition, you won't be able to sit in an emergency exit seat, which has more space. Supposing that you'll flying coach I recommend to look for the bulkhead center seats. Also due to different seat configurations, it is better to ask your airline if they have a specific seat for your condition.

A detailed info on this bulkhead area can be found at:

Hope this helps. Get well soon!
