How soon can you fly after ankle surgery?

How soon can I fly after my surgery? You should not travel long haul after major foot surgery for at least three months. This includes operations such as ankle fusions or tendon reconstructions. You should not fly if you have your foot/leg in a plaster.

Contact the airline or airlines you are flying with and tell them you are on crutches at least 48 hours in advance. Airlines do not classify crutches as extra luggage, so you can still take your regular allowance without paying extra. Don't be a hero and not ask for assistance, thinking that you can manage on your own.
