Genuinely don't know, what kind of health issues would make one unable to ride a plane? Besides being like bedridden in a hospital. Is riding a plane dangerous for certain individuals?

But anyway, anon, I'd think sci-fi more or else allows handwaving for health issue with future medicine/technology. I could imagine your typical mothership is nothing like an airplane.

+1 On sci-fi handwaving health issues. Particularly if you're talking about shows like Stark Trek they'd probably even have a cure for whatever OP has.

OP didn't say planes were necessarily physically dangerous to their health (no more than they are for every passenger, and that's less than in cars). Could be severe anxiety making planes an extremely uncomfortable experience. And for sci-fi handwaving that, yes, it's a thing, but you also get some characters like McCoy hating transporters, so it's not always treated away.

People with lung issues is one example I know. Ruined my mom's vacation dreams, sadly.

That sucks :/
Could a cruise be an option for her?

Isaac Asimov was somewhat noted for being quite acrophobic and refused to fly if he could help it.

Not OP, but I have a traumatic brain injury, and my neurologist has basically said my injured brain + pressure changes on takeoff and landing = no bueno. So I'm not about to risk it. That's just my personal example.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have vertigo which makes flying extremely difficult. I can only imagine that space ships would be worse. Also I have anxiety issues and a phobia of heights.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, but vertigo sucks! I had Labyrinthitis once, and that was my first ever experience with severe vertigo - spent a day or two where I couldn't even walk and was only okay lying down and not moving my head. It is horrible and can be completely debilitating. I'm thankful that mine went away, but I do feel horribly sorry for people who have to deal with it on an ongoing basis.

So, ~hugs~ for you, and remember that in most of our fantasy fandom worlds, there's probably a cure, be it magic or medicine.

If you suffer from blood clots the High altitude + pressure = dangerous.

[(Anonymous)]

certain heart issues are problematic for air travel. depending on your level of congestive heart failure (chf), planes are a no-no.

[(Anonymous)]

Back problems for me. While I can technically ride a plane, if it's more than an hour-long flight I'm likely to end up bedridden for a day or two from having to sit in one position for that long. Spaceships with zero-gravity would actually be beneficial for my discs, but the freedom of movement would lead to a lot of hyperextension injuries so it's a bit of a wash.

Humongous silicone boobs.
