you will not be able to fly.
My youngest son was exposed to chicken pox and then came down with temp etc a few days before we were due to fly out. Had to cancel as doctor said if it was chicken pox he would be contagious when we were due to leave and we could expose others to the virus.Not good for preg.mums or others with suppressed immune systems.
Also the airline can deny you boarding if you are or look sick.
Had travel ins so no problem just moved trip back a month.
Lucky we did cancel as it turns out he did end up with the chicken pix.
