i keep searching for flights to gaziantep from london on a direct route but all i keep getting are flights that you have to change over in istanbul
..its already going to be awkward getting from gaziantep to maras and i would rather not change planes although i will have to if necessary..
i have been told that there is a direct route to gaziantep once a week from london airports..does anyone know what airline this is with?
sorry to be a pain and thanks to anyone that can help 
also if anyone knows or has any advice for air travel with pulmonary embolism it would be appreciated and also travelling solo with an infant..

Quoting robyn : also if anyone knows or has any advice for air travel with pulmonary embolism it would be appreciated and also travelling solo with an infant.. |
I would imagine its the same precautions as for DVT. It is caused by inactivity, so you are just as likely to get it sat on a coach as in an aircraft. The most important thing is to drink no alcohol but lots of water and to try to get up and walk around occasionally. When you are seated, keep moving your legs and feet! The worst thing to do is to fall asleep.
Also I always 2 aspirin for 2 days before and after a flight to thin the blood

My husbands, cousins daughter got a pulmonary embolism through a long haul flight and was very ill for quite a while, as it was left undiagnosed for sometime. She was 28 at the time and has not flown long haul since, 6 or 8 years ago. She was initally not allowed to fly anywhere for at least a year and then not long haul for quite some time after. But she does not want to take risk, so does not now fly long haul at all.
But Doctors are the best to give advice on this sort of thing. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!
