While every airline has slightly different policies, the general industry standard (including Ryanair, EasyJet, British Airways, and Emirates) requires a medical certificate if:
- You are traveling after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- You have a multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets).
- You have experienced any pregnancy complications or recent spotting.
Note: Most airlines will not permit travel after 36 weeks for single pregnancies or 32 weeks for multiples.
Our Maternity Travel Assessment
Our assessment focuses on:
- Gestational Verification: Confirming your expected due date (EDD) and current week of pregnancy.
- Risk Screening: Checking for signs of pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure, or risks of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
- Flight Safety Advice: Providing guidance on staying hydrated, moving during the flight, and the use of compression stockings.
- Airliner Compliance: Ensuring your letter contains the specific phrasing and dates required by your chosen airline.
