Layover with a 24 hour bug, what do you do when you get sick abroad?
-
#1 Food poisoning in a layover hotel last week. What is the procedure when you are sick away from base?

#2 Tell the purser immediately, they call crewing and arrange a doctor through the hotel if needed. If you cannot operate the return, you stay and position home later; the airline covers the hotel. Never operate sick to avoid the hassle, you will be worse at 38,000 feet and it is a safety issue. Keep receipts for the medical.
