Lufthansa - Policy for Air Travel During Pregnancy - Restrictions
Lufthansa
- No restrictions for pregnant passengers during the first eight months of pregnancy (to 36 weeks) provided the pregnancy is considered free of complications.
- A certificate of exemption for a flight after the 36th week is required and must pregnancy be obtained from Lufthansa’s medical service. Also required for a complicated pregnancy, such as carrying multiples, or premature contractions.
- Lufthansa advises against travel if a pregnant woman is expecting more than one baby, or has cardiovascular health problems.
- Suggests consulting a medical professional prior to travel at any time during pregnancy.
- Because the threat of thrombosis (blood clots) is increased during pregnancy, Lufthansa suggests wearing compression stockings and elevating feet during flight.
