Default Flying Tips or suggestions needed

Hi Everyone,

On Thursday of this week I will be taking a short plane ride (about 1 hour and a half in the air). I was just wondering if anyone has some tips or anything I should worry about before I go.


I did manage to get a letter from my doctor that says I have CRPS in my neck/right shoulder/right arm/hand for security. So they know I can not lift my arm and it can not be touched. My Doctor warned me though that they might not care and do it anyways... I can't believe they can touch someone even though they have a medical note not too. The thought of someone touching my arm scares the heck out of me. Chances are I won't need that degree of a check....but I know they pull every 5th person for a random check like that. I did call the airlines and they suggested I take the note and show it right away. Let's hope it works.

I will board the plane first and leave first... as I know they allow people with disabilities to board first and also I have my 2 year old daughter with me so they allow us to board before everyone else anyways.

Any other suggestions any of you have? Any concerns with taking medications in your carry on? Or anything else you can think of!

Thanks in advance,
Karen
