What procedure must be followed for a passenger travelling with a plaster cast above the knee?

• A. The passenger must purchase 2 extra seats
• B. The passenger may travel with one seat
• C. The passenger requires a medical certificate
• D. The passenger is not allowed to travel

Answer: (A)

Bulky immobilisation like a plaster cast above the knee takes up more space than a normal leg, so cabin seating must be arranged to keep the passenger comfortable and to maintain safety boundaries for adjacent passengers. The correct approach is for the passenger to purchase two extra seats. This ensures there’s enough room for the cast, prevents it from encroaching on nearby seats or the aisle, and supports safe boarding and evacuation if needed. One seat wouldn’t provide adequate space, a medical certificate isn’t a standard requirement for this scenario, and saying the passenger isn’t allowed to travel is not correct because accommodation is arranged with extra seating.
