It didn't when I flew on a 12 hour flight from London to Tokyo.

The real problem is the size of airline seats which are impossible for any normal person to be comfortable in, let alone anyone with rheumatoid arthritis.

A problem for people with RA is that they need too move their joints to keep them loose even when they are not in a period of rheumatic flare up, as to long a period without movement makes effected joints hurt.

Take every opportunity you can to stretch your legs, this is a good move to avoid thrombosis as well

I dont think so at least I have never had a problem with it, aside from not being able to move around enough to stay loose.
