Expectant Mothers

You and your unborn child's safety are our highest priority. We recommend that all expectant mothers consult a doctor before making travel arrangements; this is for the passenger’s safety and to prevent any unnecessary delays during check-in.

Depending on the stage of your pregnancy and certain other details, you may need to carry on board certain medical forms. Please see below for our guidelines on which medical forms may be needed.

Up to and including 28th weeks (28th weeks are equal to 27 weeks + 7 days)	NO	NO
Beginning of 29th weeks up to end of 32nd weeks (28 weeks + 1 day is the beginning of 29th weeks) (32nd weeks are equal to 31 weeks + 7 days) (Not beyond 32 weeks means exactly 32 weeks)	YES	NO
Beginning of 33rd week up to end of 36th weeks (32 weeks + 1day is the beginning of 33rd weeks) (36th weeks are equal to 35 weeks and 7 days) (Not beyond 36 weeks means exactly 36 weeks)	YES	YES
