Flying with DD1 who has chicken pox.

[Fedupofplaystation]

DD1 (3 years) has just developed chicken pox. We are on holiday and due to fly home on Wednesday.

I know I'd BU to take DD1 on the plane, but what on earth do we do now?

The doctor who confirmed the pox said to go to the airport and if anyone asks, say it's an allergic reaction It's quite plainly chicken pox, surely we'd be stopped from getting on the plane?

Not to mention the fact that I won't knowingly expose a pregnant woman, someone who is immunocompromised or an adult who hasn't already had it to chicken pox.

I haven't contacted the travel insurance company yet as it was quite late when confirmed (different time zone). Will they they cover this? Are we likely to have to change hotels? How long is it likely to be before we can fly? What if DD2 catches it, just as DD1 is improving?

How on earth do I keep two kids, one unwell and itching, entertained in a hot hotel room with no toys?

That is pretty poor of Teletext. It wasn't that short notice! I managed to sort flights, car hire and accommodation within an hour or two and I ain't no professional travel person! Glad you have managed. I certainly praised the internet when it happened to us. Hope your daughter isn't too poorly with it. Our son sailed through but our daughter (on holiday) was really really ill with it.
