So you don't even need to ask the airline at all? So if it is very obvious someone has stitches on their head like without any gauze, or just with gauze or gauze with headband around it... there is no issue? You just let them know?
Now is it a good idea to fly few days after getting stitches? Or you should always wait until stitches are removed? The situation here is my parents want me to fly back to the US so they could take care of me there because of this situation.
