Flying long-haul with chronic pain: a one-page flight buffer plan

Build a seat, movement, and arrival-buffer plan with simple switch rules—drafted into a clean, shareable one-page plan you can copy, print, or email to yourself.

Planning support only. Medical decisions remain with your clinician.

What this plan does

It reduces decision fatigue by pre-deciding your switch point, your movement backup, and your arrival buffer. It does not promise symptom prevention.


Your decision thresholds (examples)

  • If symptoms rise by mid-flight, I switch to a lower-load routine within 20 minutes.
  • If I cannot walk comfortably, I use seated movement alternatives and protect more frequent posture changes.
  • If arrival day is high-risk, I protect a 2–4 hour buffer before any commitments.
Coordination script: “I’m having a symptom spike. I’m switching to our backup plan so I can still be present later.”

Optional: If you have multiple legs, tight connections, or a high-risk arrival day, a whole-trip plan may reduce decision load.

No urgency. No scarcity. Choose support only if it reduces your decision load.
