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

A possible certificate of exemption for a flight after the 36th week of pregnancy can be requested from Lufthansa’s MEDICAL OPERATION CENTRE. The same applies in the case of a complicated pregnancy, such as a multiple pregnancy, premature contractions, etc.

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

It is best to consult your own doctor before your flight in order to exclude any potential risks.


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