British Airways to take leg casts

The UK's former flag carrier airline has announced a change to its rules in favour of passengers with leg casts. At the start of January, a spokesperson for the Passenger Medical Clearance Unit (PMCU) of British Airways told insurers and assistance companies that the company would accept passengers travelling with full leg casts on its short-haul routes in Euro Traveller and Domestic cabins, subject to clearance from PMCU. Extra seats can be purchased for elevation, subject to availability of moveable arm rests on each flight. British Airways said it will continue to accept passengers with full leg casts in its First and Club World cabins on long haul routes.
