Flying on American Airlines while having a rare genetic skin condition

American Airlines apologizes to mom, baby kicked off flight for skin condition

Quote:

American Airlines has apologized to a South Carolina woman who was removed from a recent flight over concerns regarding the rare genetic skin disorder that affects both her and her baby son. On Feb. 28 – which happens to be Rare Disease Day – Jordan Flake and baby Jackson boarded an American Airlines flight from El Paso, Texas, to Dallas, to visit her military husband before his deployment, Fox Carolina reports. Soon after, Flake claims that an airline staffer approached her (on behalf of the American Airlines crew) about her "rash" and questioned if she had a letter from a doctor allowing her to fly, as detailed in a now-viral Facebook post.

It's not contagious of course, which is all they needed to know, and she told them, but the flight crew insisted that she needed a note from a doctor to fly.
