Commercial air travel is generally comfortable, speedy, and safe and accepted as a part of everyday life for many people in the developed world. Human physiology can be affected by the flight environment, particularly changes in pressure, sensory perception, and trans‐meridian travel. For the fit and healthy traveller this is usually of no concern, but certain physical or psychological conditions can be exacerbated by flight. This chapter describes the basic physics and physiology of the flight environment and clinical aspects of aviation medicine. Guidelines are provided for assessing an individual's fitness to fly as an airline passenger.
