Not really. And if the airlines find out thay might ban you from the flight.

I would ask your doctor. Sorry can't help no more. Good luck.

I would definitely consult my GP as to the severity of your particular disease, however, my father in law suffered and flew to Australia and he had also suffered a stroke several years earlier.

no problem just keep your mouth shut at the check in having said that I have seen loads of ppl fly it

No, you need a 'plane.

Depends how bad your lung function and p02 are. You need specific advice from your physician.
