It is generally safe for pregnant passengers to travel, though caution
should be exercised about excessive amounts of flying during the early
weeks because of hypoxia. Heavy lifting during pregnancy should be
avoided, so extra care should be taken with baggage. Please consult
your gynaecologist or obstetrician before planning your trip.
We will accept passengers with single pregnancies up to 36 weeks
and multiple pregnancies up to 32 weeks. A medical certificate
may be required at check-in.
A complicated pregnancy would require medical approval from our
medical team whereby a MEDA form is to be completed by both the passenger
and her treating doctor, and submitted no later than 48 hours prior to
departure.
Pregnant passengers should make certain that the facilities at the
destination country are adequate to cope with any problems with the
pregnancy happened during the visit. It is wise to avoid travel to
remote locations whilst pregnant.
If you require medications during your pregnancy, please ensure that
you have an adequate supply for the journey. Please remember that
certain medications, such as some types of malarial prophylaxes and
vaccinations, cannot be used in pregnancy. If the destination
country requires such prophylaxis, it is better to postpone the journey
until after your pregnancy. You can obtain further details from your
gynaecologist or obstetrician, or from the website of the US
Government Center For Disease Control.
