“Fit to fly” or ability to travel is NOT age related. Full stop.
A 20-something person with significant developmental delays, another at 40 with stage 4 Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease, etc. can’t travel alone or without assistance either, and there are physical challenges as well.
“Travelability” is a very individual issue, and there are often ways to cope. In some cases it entails contacting the airline for some assistance, such as wheelchairs, pre-boarding, an airline’s special services, etc. Some might require a travel companion. In others, Travel may be too challenging and must be avoided, or restricted by mode or distance of travel. If one is unsure, the best thing might be to schedule an appointment with a physician specializing in travel medicine, bringing Medical and prescription information.
