In accordance with similar terms and conditions on both airline websites, certain Ryanair and JET2 passengers will need additional documentation to allow them to board the flight.
According to NHS guidelines, most women can travel safely, with appropriate precautions such as travel insurance, which is suitable for pregnancy. People recommend “Make sure travel insurance covers you any unforeseen circumstances, including pregnancy-related medical care during work, premature birth, and the costs of changing the return date if you go to work.”
Airlines' stances for pregnant women flying at different stages are usually similar, but each travel operator has its own guidance. For example, after a certain point of pregnancy, women flying with Ryanair and JET2 require medical documents – or they may be denied entry to the flight.
Ryanair's advice explains that “you can fly up to 28 weeks of pregnancy,” and that once your pregnancy reaches 28 weeks, you will need to carry a completed “fitting the fly” letter from your doctor/midwife.” Information on that website continues. “If there is one pregnancy, travel is not permitted through the end of the 36th week of pregnancy. In twin/mielett pregnancy, the letter “flying suited” is required between 28 and 32 weeks, and travel is not permitted after the 32nd weekend of pregnancy.
“If you have any doubts about how suitable it is to fly, or if you have complications during pregnancy, consult your doctor before booking a flight.”
JET2 takes a similar position, saying, “After the end of the 35th week after pregnancy, the end of the 35th week of pregnancy is the end of the 33rd week of pregnancy with multiple pregnancies (such as twins).
“After the end of the 27th week of pregnancy, the pregnant mother must confirm the stage of her pregnancy and provide a certificate of a doctor suitable for flight. She will fail, reserve the right to reject a carriage.
According to EasyJet Guidance, “You can travel significantly later in pregnancy.” “If you experience complications during pregnancy, you should consult your practitioner before you fly with us.
“You can travel until the end of week 35 for a single pregnancy. If you are expecting multiple babies, you can travel until the end of week 32.”
