Fuk....is anyone Anemic?

03-11-2009, 09:33 AM

Shoot, does anyone know if you can fly with anemia or if I should be concerned at all? (and about going to Mexico next month....Cabo)

I haven't had a test since I left the hospital on the 28th and I've got a Doc's appt. next week but I have to book this bachelor party trip now. And I'm having a devil of a time finding info on flying with anemia online.

Appreciate any help; thanks!

Just throw a few pints of blood in your carry-on. They usually don't mind.

Give your doctor a call. If anything, the concern would not be the flying, but being in Mexico if you are not healthy.

Especially if you happen to need more blood.

If your doc says you are good to go, don't forget travel insurance.

Hope you are able to go and that you have a safe and fun trip.

Damn it, I knew I forgot something when I booked it yesterday.
