“When are flight doctors made accessible?”
For what conditions are flight doctors made accessible? My mother is 80 years old and is travelling on a 24 hour flight. How do I ensure that a flight doctor is available on the plane?

Most airlines have contracted with a flight medicine organization and are able to contact them in flight for acute medical emergencies. Best to check with your airline to determine their capabilities. Additionally, if you or your family member has special needs or conditions, inform the gate agent and they will let the cabin crew know.
