Many of the people around her look surprised she is flying as do I. I won't judge her as I don't know her situation.
In the air now and the smell of vomit is in the cabin. Just as they roll out breakfast. Most people have the vents at full open. Fun!
Just wondering if there is any policy / best practice on this type of situation.
I think the official policy is to re-schedule the person until they are well enough to travel.
Unofficially I can see the GA thinking in their head that if I deny this person boarding all of a sudden the story that goes viral is "Sick Woman stuck in MSP and misses Chemo treatment after airline rudely denies boarding"
