Pregnancy Travel Guidelines

 Our travel policy depends on the stage of pregnancy and overall health. It’s important to share accurate information so we can assist you better.

• Up to 36 weeks: Travel is allowed on domestic and short-haul flights (up to 2 hours).
• Up to 34 weeks: Travel is allowed on international flights.

❖ Before 28 Weeks

If you're in your first or second trimester (before 28 weeks) and have a normal pregnancy, you can travel without a doctor’s note.
 Just complete a simple Pregnancy Declaration Form and present it at check-in or boarding.
