The probability to transfer Chikungunya these days is more than nothing. The disease [the virus] can be found and infected by throughout southern Asia and central and southern Africa (According to the UN World Health Organization – WHO)
Furthermore, the mosquitoes that can easily transfer Chikungunya, the Asian tiger mosquito, invaded to many new countries and demonstrated ability to be a vector of Chikungunya in newly invaded countries (e.g. Italy, summer 2007).
Are you returning to your country from southern Asia or Africa?
Have you been bitten by mosquitoes shortly prior to your flight?
My advice for you is get check for Chikungunya, especially if you live in an Asian tiger mosquito infected area. Don't spread the disease in your homeland.

Dear armit
I am not an MD doctor (Physician) but a PhD one. I am a mosquito expert, which means that I advise people before they got bitten. After the bite,especially if you feel sick, go see a physician.

There is widespread opinion among masses that chickungunya fever is caused by chicken and at some places in india people even stop even eating chicken meat.As the causes of this fever is totally different and it appears the prevalence is likely during and after monsoon, a good measure of propaganda in educating people is required.
