I know a few people who’ve flown, they’ve all said it was fine. But, they aren’t immunocompromised. I know you really want to go visit your son and new grandchild, so I’m sure it’s all weighing very heavy on you. I wonder if the CDC has weighed in on immunocompromised folks flying? Maybe ask your transplant team?

I have flown several times since last November. I checked with my TX doc first and he reiterated all the precautions in the airport. The plane is safer than the airport. N95 mask, face shield, gloves for touching the escalator, etc., wipes for everything. Wipe down luggage. And make sure you carry your meds with you.
I flew to see family every time.

@athenalee I hesitate to ask my transplant team because their guidance so far has been to stay in a bubble. If I ask them and they say I should absolutely not do it and I choose to any way that could be a problem.
