Expectant mothers with complication-free pregnancies can travel on Lufthansa flights up to their 36th week of pregnancy or up to four weeks before their expected due date without a medical certificate from a gynaecologist.

A certificate of exemption for a flight after the 36th week of pregnancy can only be obtained from Lufthansa’s medical service. The same applies in the case of a complicated pregnancy, such as a multiple pregnancy, premature contractions, etc.

There is an increased risk of thrombosis throughout a pregnancy. So our tip is: put your feet up during your flight and wear compression stockings.

It's best to consult your doctor before your flight in order to exclude any risks.

Please note that special regulations apply to pregnant women flying to/from Canada
