    Hi Kelly,

    I've had no issues on the flight itself - its usually afterwards is the issue for me.

    Also might be a good idea to put it on your travel insurance!

    HI Kelly,I did a flight just before I found out I had costo. It was terrible, I thought I was having a heart attack! Recently had to travel again. This time I used a inhaler, ice pack , pain patches on the worst areas and took ALEVE just before flight. HUGE differance. Im sure knowing I was NOT having a heart attack helped.. lolHope you have s great trip!
