When I was first diagnosed I had this same question as I was scheduled for a vacation. My cardio said flying was not a problem and I have flown many times since then without any difficulties.

I know how horrifying it is to receive this diagnosis but it takes a lot of time for the aneurysm to grow to a level likely needing repair. I've had my aneurysm diagnosis for over 15 years and it has grown only slightly larger, is still considered small and I am hopeful at this rate of growth I will not ever need surgical repair.

However, all that said, be careful lifting that suitcase. For me, I was told not to lift more than 25 lbs.
