Hi I was wondering if anyone can help I've been booked for some time to go to Vegas on the 28th Nov for my 40th birthday. Flying Newcastle Heathrow Las Vegas. I fell downstairs which has resulted in a very badly torn pattella tendon and I am having surgery on 23rd oct 2016. My consultant is hopeful that I can still fly, however I not sure if ba will let me fly as I may need to be in a removable knee split. I have requested disabled assistance in the airports and on/ off the planes. I have looked at the seat plan for my flight on seat guru and have booked 40f 40g seats both long haul legs as I am told seats are bulk head which may have more knee room, however Ba seat plan does not say these seats are exit row seats but seat guru states that the seats are. I understand that due to my surgery I won't be fit enough to in emergency exit rows. Could some confirm if this seat would be suitable or a better seat I need to be able to bend and extend my right leg. We are booked in economy and booked via travel agent so we are not able to upgrade online to premium, and have been told this could be very costly. I really still want to fly if possible. My consultant said that back slab split which is removable might make the flight more comfortable if ba will allow this. I did fly 19 years ago in back slab on a long haul flight but it was not with British airways. We have a group of friends who are flying the day before us so really don't want to let anyone down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated many thanks
