Now other than requesting help from the airline to push me to the gates, and priority seating, and such (already set up), I'm just wondering if anyone has any unique suggestions to make the flights a bit easier. Any tips would be HUGELY appreciated! As this is only my second time flying since I was six, and my first time traveling at all with the RSD"Beast" on my back, I need all the help I can get.

Thank you all so much!
Snowwhyte,

I'm not a good flyer to begin with but I have found the airlines to be very accomodating. My RSD is upper extremety so I don't need a wheelchair but I'm allowed on first, I always ask for an extra blanket, and I ask my doctor for something for the anxiety this way I don't stress. I really don't like to fly RSD or not, it's just not my thing. I have flown all over the place but still don't like it. Just don't be afraid to ask fo help, you'll be fine. Think of all the fun you will have with your friend.

Have a great flight and have a great time with your friend.
