Most airlines will allow you to fly 24 hours after a plaster cast is fitted for flights less than two hours long, or after 48 hours for longer flights. This is because there's a risk of swelling after a plaster cast is first fitted, which can affect your circulation.

I'd check with the airline as they may require a fit to fly letter from your doctor x

I've also read that you can get a split cast it's basically because the arm can swell during the flight xx

It's got to be on for 48 hours or it has to be split to allow for any swelling X
