Depending on how far you’ve progressed, the trip may or may not be a burden. I would give yourself PLENTY of time to get to the airport and through security. You can even request a wheelchair, if you like. (Milk that surgery for all it’s worth!) And you can probably request to board first to avoid the pushers-and-shovers who are always so anxious to board and deplane. Try to get an aisle seat on either the left or right side, depending on what leg was operated on–this will give you more room to spread out, but be cautious of others bumping into your knee. Also, be sure to get up a few times to walk around and stretch. Safe Travels! Let me know how it goes :)
