You can fly when you are pregnant and you are welcome on board with DAT - however, we have guidelines for your and your baby's safety that apply to both outbound and return flights.
When pregnant with one child:
- Flying is possible without restrictions up to 34 weeks of pregnancy.
- During pregnancy weeks 35-37, you are allowed to fly max. 4 hours and a medical certificate must be provided.
- From week 38 of pregnancy, flying is not allowed.
- For pregnancies with complications, passengers must bring a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) completed and signed by a licensed physician. You can find the MEDIF form here.
Multiple pregnancy:
- Flying is allowed up to 28 weeks of pregnancy without restrictions.
- During pregnancy weeks 29-31 must bring a medical certificate, which can be presented upon request.
- From week 32 of pregnancy, flying is not allowed.
- For pregnancies with complications, the passenger must bring a MEDIF form completed and signed by a licensed physician. You can find the MEDIF form here.
DAT will help you get through the airport to and from the plane, if you have special needs.
Wheelchair assistance is free of charge. However, it is important that you contact our customer service during opening hours at least 24 hours before departure - the need for a wheelchair will be noted on your ticket.
You can bring your own folding wheelchair for free. Please note that at some airports, this must be handed in with your baggage at check-in.
In most cases, you can bring your walker all the way to the gate, after which it will be placed in the cargo hold. The walker is handed back with the luggage upon arrival.
The oxygen pressure in the lungs is significantly reduced during a flight and therefore some passengers may need extra oxygen during the flight - especially travelers with lung, heart and/or breathing problems.
Please contact DAT customer service to register your own oxygen on the ticket.
Passengers who have an illness that is likely to require additional oxygen during the flight must bring their own oxygen for both the outbound and return flights - enough for the entire flight time plus an additional 50%.
In such a case, a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) completed and signed by a licensed physician is required. You can find the MEDIF form here.
Tip: DAT recommends that you bring an oxygen concentrator rather than an oxygen cylinder.
