In my family's case, nothing. My sister leads a normal life, as long as she stays on her medication, but she's susceptible to cold and extreme heat, so she can't go outside during winter and some of summer ( we live in a colder part of the US). She used to be in and out of hospitals when she was younger, but now she only goes once or twice every 18 months or so.

There is no quick, easy answer. Flying in a pressurized aircraft should not pose a problem. Neither should visiting Colorado. There is a Sickle Cell treatment center in Denver, and many people with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell trait live and work in that area.
