Flights during pregnancy - Prohibitions, Childbirth, Acquisition of Citizenship.

AIRLINE RULES

Airline rules may change. We recommend that you clarify all the details before flying.

The World Health Organization recommends refusing to fly in three cases:

  • If less than 7 days have passed since giving birth.
  • If the pregnancy is more than 36 weeks.
  • If the pregnancy is complicated.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW/BRING IN ADVANCE

One of the recommendations is to wear compression stockings.

When boarding the plane, you should take a document with all the information about the pregnancy with you.

Also, be sure to take a medicine kit and pillows for a comfortable position.

ACQUISITION OF CITIZENSHIP

A child born on board can have 3 types of citizenship:

  • Citizenship of the country where the plane landed.
  • Citizenship of the country to which the plane belongs.
  • Citizenship of the country over which the plane was flying at the time of birth.

A nice bonus – some airlines give the child the right to fly for free.

But this is not a mandatory condition. In such cases, restrictions are often imposed. For example, it is possible to make a certain number of flights or fly only until the child reaches adulthood.
