Question 1

Is flying during pregnancy dangerous or problematic?

Accepted Answer

Flying during an uncomplicated pregnancy is usually unproblematic. However, we recommend consulting your gynaecologist before flying.

Expectant mothers with an uncomplicated pregnancy can fly with Eurowings without a certificate from their gynaecologist up to the end of the 36th week of pregnancy/up to four weeks before the expected due date. Nevertheless, from the 28th week of pregnancy, it is recommended that you carry an up-to-date medical certificate provided by your doctor.

During pregnancy, you should generally avoid air travel if you are expecting multiples, have already suffered a miscarriage or suffer from cardiovascular diseases. In addition, there is an increased risk of thrombosis during the entire pregnancy period. In order to exclude any other possible risks, we recommend that you consult your doctor before the planned flight.
