Air travel is safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic
Travelling by air will be best and safe but just carry all your medical records and medicine along
At the same time all airlines demand for a fitness form from the consultant in charge
Take care

Brief Answer:
Air travel is best

Detailed Answer:
No dear there is nothing like that as air travel is the safest mode and the jerking of landing and take off are nothing as compared to road travel and innumerable stairs and jam packed railway stations along with unhygienic washroom conditions
So if possible then air travel will be the best
