Navigating the Skies with Allergies & Asthma

See the Invisible: Living with an Invisible or Rare Disease

Today I am reviewing some events that have happened to those with allergies and/or asthma while flying. This topic is very concerning to me as I have worried about what will happen if I need to fly, but an animal that I am allergic to is on the plane? And for clarity, I’m not referring to Service Animals but to pets. This topic can create hardships for all parties. Those with allergies are in a position that will prevent them from being able to fly. Those who want to bring their pet will have to find alternative means, and those who have Emotional Support Animals will find it difficult to fly as well. Compassion, empathy and respect are truly needed at times when these situations align themselves, and we should all work together to try to find ways to accommodate as many people as possible. And this is not only true in just these specific instances, but in so many other avenues of life that we face everyday.
