Have a great time in Mexico. I have done a fair amount of flying since my mastectomy 1 1/2 years ago -- the latest being from Washington State to New Zealand (five plane changes and more than 24 hours of travelling). I was advised right after surgery to wear a compression sleeve on all flights. Put it on at least one hour before boarding the plane and leaving it on for at least three hours after leaving the plane. So far, I've had no problems with lyphedema. Be sure to take lots of sunscreen!
