Anyone have experience flying as or with infirm folks? My aunt is probably near end of life- not specifically, but she has had a bunch of strokes and fell a bunch of times and once nobody knew for a couple days and she hasn't really bounced back. She doesn't have family near or- no kids etc- and we had talked about her coming to stay here and she stalled and now says the doctors tell her she can't travel. It strikes me that even if there are risks it would be worth it to spend a year with family and people who care about you than rotting in a home just waiting for your month church visit.
Anyway, experiences?
