Travel with flight while pregnant

[jatex 0]

Hello all,

I have a question about travel flight for pregnant woman:

1. Do the international airlines company has the regulation for pregnant woman to take flight?

2. How old the pregnancy for pregnant woman could be allow to take the flight?

3. I heard within 3-7 months, is that true?

4. How about the pregnancy is one month old taken fligth?

Thanks for sharing the comment and your experience.

Most airlines are happy to carry pregnant women up to 27 or 28 weeks. After that, when the risk of going into labour increases, they may require a letter from your doctor stating you are fit to travel and confirming your estimated due date. Each airline has its own set of rules, so it's important you tell the booking agent when you call that you are pregnant and check that you may still fly. If you are booking online, check the airline's website. Most mention pregnancy. Try looking in the FAQs or planning your trip sections, carrier's regulations, or customer support.

Scheduled airlines tend to let women fly to around 34 weeks. British Airways is particularly generous. It allows anyone with an uncomplicated single pregnancy to travel up to 36 weeks, and anyone carrying twins (or more) up to 32 weeks. After 28 weeks all pregnant women need a doctor's letter. Virgin Atlantic allows pregnant women to travel up to 34 weeks, although they must have a doctor's letter from 28 weeks. Women with multiple pregnancies need to call special assistance well in advance of travel.

When you go on a package holiday, a charter flight is usually included in the price. It's not always obvious which airline is being used so you need to discuss your pregnancy with the holiday company so it can advise you about the airline and its regulations. Monarch, which supplies charter flights for many tour operators in the UK, allows women to travel up to 34 weeks, although they must have a doctor's letter from 28 weeks.

Ryanair and easyJet both allow expectant mothers to travel up to 36 weeks with a doctor's letter from 28 weeks.

Ferry operators have similar rules to airlines (always check before you travel). Neither Eurostar nor Eurotunnel have any restrictions.
