Are you allowed to go on an airplane while pregnant?

Answer 1

Generally, pregnant women can fly on a plane as long as the pregnancy is progressing normally. A pregnant woman should check with her doctor to be sure. Also, pregnant women should check with the airline directly as some require a note from a physician in order to allow women in their third trimester to board. There are a few things pregnant women can do to make plane travel more comfortable. They are:

When making a reservation, a pregnant woman should request an aisle seat so she can easily exit the row for bathroom and stretch breaks.

Ideally, she should try to obtain a bulkhead seat as they generally provide more leg room. Also, some travel industry experts report that air circulation is better toward the front of the plane, so pregnant women should keep that in mind when booking seats.

Pregnant women should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the flight. They should also try to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages.

Answer 2

It's advised not to.. EasyJet's policy on the matter is this.. "expectant mothers Expectant mothers can be accepted for travel up to 27 weeks (inclusive) without a medical certificate. When travelling between 28 - 35 (inclusive) weeks a medical certificate confirming the number of weeks of pregnancy is required confirming that the passenger is fit to fly. Pregnant passengers cannot be accepted for travel on or after week 36, and therefore all return flights must be completed no later than week 36. All medical certification must be supplied by a doctor - medical certificates completed by a registered midwife cannot be accepted. Conditions of Carriage Article 8.2." With thanks.

Answer 3

Yes but nowadays more commercial airline companies are enforcing more restrictions on pregnant woman flying. Some will let you if you are in a stable condition, although it is not advisable. Other airline companies won't let you fly if you are within 2 weeks of your due date.

Answer 4

Early/mid-pregnancy is OK, unless there are any special concerns. The question should include where the pregnant women is travelling to as well. Many GP's give pregnant women a fit to fly certificate with little or no consideration to the destination they are going to. The destination (including healthcare accesibility and cost), length of flight, pregnancy term and any complications of pregnancy should all be taken into account when the decision is made. The actual flight itself may be of least concern.

Answer 5

Yes, however most airlines require you to have a statement from your Dr saying that you are healthy enough to travel and are not likely to go into labor within a 72 hour window of your flight after 26 weeks of pregnancy. Check with both your airline and your Dr to see what they require before you go.
