Flying - arm in plaster
Is there any restrictions when flying with your arm in plaster. My nine-year-old daughter is flying with me on Saturday and has today had her arm put in plaster (fell over ice-skating).
We're flying with Ryanair and know they can look for any excuse to get more cash out of you. Can't find any reference to this on their website.
Thanks in advance.

apparently it varies airline to airline .. my boss in previous job broke her foot a few months back and the airline asked for a 3 page medical report from doctor before allowing her to fly... she also had to have an open cast plaster (don't know if that's as it was on her leg so DVT risk?)... you really need to ring the airline to find out the implications and what they need from you.
good luck, and I hope she's ok
Thank you so much for your swift reply and it is very much appreciated. Trouble is it's extremely (previous unrelated experience) getting ANY LIVING PERSON on the end of a telephone from Ryanair.
I'll give it a go though - thanks once again.

The 'plaster' is one of these light-weight fibreglass type from below the elbow to the wrist. She has no need for a sling either.
What do you reckon?
I don't envy you getting in contact with Ryan Air - they're enough to give anyone a blood clot without even flying. Good luck!
