Guest guest Posted May 9, 1999 Report Share Posted May 9, 1999 I also have to have an aisle sear - I get really claustrophobic if I'm hemmed in - I have spent many a flight standing at the back, and it makes me crazy when the meals are served and the cart blocks my escape route. I take along my codeine, just in case, and if the time of day is right, I always have wine. Probably shouldn't be mixing the two, but hours of misery are not an option! ne, 59, Lawrenceville, NJ --- Sqrl523@... wrote: > From: Sqrl523@... > > I travel a fair amount - and even on short flights I > just HAVE T have an > aisle seat.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 1999 Report Share Posted May 9, 1999 Ditto on taking pain meds (I take Vicoden ES) for a flight and having an aisle seat, plus I travel with my assistance/service dog, a german sheppard. I usually am put into the bulkhead with more leg room for me and the dog with an empty seat beside me, and don't have to pay anything extra (ADA Laws). Flying is really hard, but made easier with the meds every time. ---------- > >To: Sqrl523@..., rlssupport (AT) onelist (DOT) com >Subject: Re: Air Travel with RLS >Date: Sun, May 9, 1999, 8:42 AM > > > > I also have to have an aisle sear - I get really claustrophobic if I'm > hemmed in - I have spent many a flight standing at the back, and it > makes me crazy when the meals are served and the cart blocks my escape > route.
