Travelling when Pregnant

If I am pregnant, can I still fly?

Different airlines apply different rules to women who wish to fly during pregnancy. Thomson Airways will carry expectant mothers according to the following regulations:

• For uncomplicated single pregnancies, return travel with Thomson Airways must be completed by 36 weeks for shorthaul, and 34 weeks for long haul.
• For multiple pregnancies (e.g. twins), Thomson Airways will carry expectant mothers up to 32 weeks.

Other airlines may only allow travel up to the 28th week. Thomson Airways will require a note from your doctor or midwife if you will be over 28 weeks pregnant when you are due to fly.  This note should state your date of confinement pregnancy is uncomplicated, and you are fit to fly. Please ensure you have insurance cover for the entire trip as many policies cover only up to the 28th week. To contact a representative at Thomson Airways please phone 0871 231 4787 (Calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras).

I wish to book a family holiday in advance, even though my baby has not yet been born. How do I book without knowing my baby's date of birth?

If you wish to book a holiday before your baby is born please contact our Thomson Call Centre on 0871 231 4691 (Calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras). This holiday cannot be booked online, as our website requires the date of birth of each passenger before the booking can be completed. Alternatively, you may wish to visit your local Thomson shop to book your holiday. Find your nearest Thomson shop.
