Travelling when Pregnant
If I am pregnant, can I still fly?
Different airlines apply different rules to women who wish to fly during pregnancy. Thomsonfly will carry expectant mothers according to the following regulations:
- For uncomplicated single pregnancies, return travel with Thomsonfly must be completed by 36 weeks for shorthaul, and 34 weeks for long haul.
- For multiple pregnancies (e.g. twins), Thomsonfly will carry expectant mothers up to 32 weeks.
Other airlines may only allow travel up to the 28th week. Thomsonfly 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 Thomsonfly please phone 0871 231 4869.
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. 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.
Please note, for 0871 numbers calls cost 10p per minute and for 0844 numbers calls cost 5p per minute. Charges apply at all times from BT landlines. Other operator networks may vary.
