    Hi folk,

    I hope this is the right place to ask this. My almost 3 year old broke her leg in the playground.:( She is in a temporary half cast until we visit the fracture clinic tomorrow. We are due to fly with Ryanair on the 18th of this month. I notice from the ryanair website that if you have a full leg cast you must buy three seats (Adults), but there is no indication of whether this applies to children? Im assuming not, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this? I wont know until tomorrow if she will have a full or half cast.

    Thanks in advance
    eamor

    I can't answer the specific question you're asking but there is another issue which is that the doctor may not allow the child to travel in the first place. If you show up at check-in with your leg in a cast they will ask to see a letter from your doctor or the hospital saying that it's ok to fly, the issue being the low pressure when flying which can cause clots. In some cases the hospital or doctor can fit a cast that can be opened or just loosened when flying but if it's a rigid cast then medical advice may be that you cannot fly at all.

    Make sure to tell the doctor in the clinic than you'd like your kid to fly when you plan to.
