Flying is problem-free for women with uncomplicated pregnancies.
All the same, we recommend pregnant women check in advance with their doctor about flying.
Expectant mothers with complication-free pregnancies can fly Air Dolomiti without any doctor’s certificate:
- until the end of the 36th week of pregnancy i.e. up to 4 weeks before the expected due date,
- in the event of twins or multiple pregnancies, and the pregnancy is proceeding without complications, it is possible to fly until the end of the 32nd week.
From the 28th week of pregnancy, however, we recommend bringing a recent medical certificate containing:
• confirmation that the pregnancy is complication-free
• the expected delivery date
• the doctor must expressly state the patient’s pregnancy does not prevent her flying
It is not possible to guarantee that onboard menus are completely free of foods that may cause allergic reactions, nor can we prevent other passengers from bringing products containing peanuts, nuts, sesame, tree nuts, or other allergens on board.
If you have allergies or severe intolerances, we recommend that you consult with your doctor to assess the potential severity of any reactions and bring your emergency medications with you. Additionally, we advise informing the cabin crew upon boarding, so they can request the cooperation of other passengers in avoiding the consumption of these products.
