Many women fly while pregnant and have no difficulties. If you are pregnant and intend to fly we recommend that you discuss your travel plans with your doctor before you fly – particularly during the later stages of pregnancy.

We require you to travel with medical clearance (PDF, 3MB) during pregnancy if the following applies:

Unacceptable for travel:

• If labour or a complication is likely to occur during the flight, or within 48 hours of delivery, or while there is active bleeding.

Medical clearance required:

• Single pregnancy – after 36 weeks
• Multiple pregnancy – after 32 weeks
• Pregnancy with complications

We recommend that you drink plenty of water while onboard the aircraft, and walk around the cabin when permitted. While onboard please view our in-flight magazine, Voyeur for exercises to assist with blood flow during your flight.
