airBaltic lets you fly without limits up to 27 weeks, though it advises carrying your pregnancy passport throughout. From 28 to 36 weeks (28 to 32 with twins or more) you need a doctor's note in English, or airBaltic's statement form, dated within 14 days of the flight — a doctor on Mobi Doctor can produce that note over video.
Or plan by dates. Enter your due date and flight dates: the planner works out how pregnant you will be on each flight, whether that flight is allowed, whether a letter is needed for each leg, and the dates a letter must be signed between so it is still valid on the way home.
Copy the flight lines from the airline’s confirmation email (flight number, date, times) and paste them here. It is read in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Enter your flight number and the dates above (or a route), and the planner fills in the airline — the operating carrier on a codeshare — and the flight time from the published schedule.
Or by route: to on the outbound date.
Choose a situation to see whether you need documentation.
airBaltic's rule has three bands. Up to 27 weeks you fly freely, with your pregnancy passport in your cabin bag. From 28 weeks until the end of week 36 with one baby, or week 32 with twins or more, you must carry a doctor's note written in English, or airBaltic's pregnancy statement form, dated within 14 days of the flight. After those weeks airBaltic will not carry you. The language rule is the detail people miss: a note in another language alone does not meet it.
Most airlines start their rules at week 28; airBaltic's advice starts earlier. It advises carrying a pregnancy passport — the maternity record you take between appointments — from the outset, and warns that a passenger who cannot show how far along she is might not be allowed to fly. Keep it in your cabin baggage with the doctor's note, as airBaltic's own packing advice says. If your country issues no booklet, a dated scan report showing the expected delivery date is the obvious substitute.
Either satisfies the rule, and both must be dated within 14 days of the flight. The statement form is airBaltic's downloadable template; the page gives no detail of its contents. A doctor's note is the flexible option, because it can also serve a connecting carrier or an insurer — provided it is in English. Ask for: how many weeks you will be on each flight date, the expected delivery date, whether you are carrying one baby or more, confirmation of no complications and fitness to fly, signed and dated, with the doctor's name and registration number — the same core content the CAA describes.
airBaltic writes its bands in whole weeks: 28–36 with one baby, 28–32 with twins or more, and no flying after 36 or 32 respectively. In this hub's counting, week 36 runs to 36 weeks plus 6 days and "after 36 weeks" begins at 37 weeks; the multiple-pregnancy line falls at 32 weeks plus 6 days. Check both flight dates, since the return is where the band is usually breached. The flying-while-pregnant guide compares every airline's last week.
| Letter or certificate required from | Week 28 (28–36 one baby; 28–32 twins or more) |
| Last week you can fly, single | Week 36 (36 weeks + 6 days) |
| Last week, twins or more | Week 32 (32 weeks + 6 days) |
| Letter must be issued within | 14 days of the flight |
| Own form | airBaltic pregnancy statement form (downloadable), accepted instead of a doctor's note |
| Who can sign | A doctor, writing in English |

The 14-day clock runs from the date on the note to each flight. A note dated the day before you leave therefore covers a return up to 13 days later; on a longer trip you need a second note for the way home. On board, cabin crew cannot provide medical care such as giving medicine, and you may fly with a baby under 2 on your lap while pregnant. For comparison, TUI allows the same 14 days but starts at week 29, Finnair asks for a certificate only after week 32 on flights over 6 hours, and SAS works by due date with a MEDIF dated within a month.
Tell the doctor the note must be in English, as airBaltic requires. Choose a time in the 14 days before your flight — daily 7am–11pm CET — and a doctor on Mobi Doctor joins the video call, usually within 15 minutes. If the doctor confirms you are fit to fly, the signed pregnancy fit-to-fly certificate, with both flight dates, is emailed to you after the consultation. Video consultation €54 + €10 for the certificate, covering anything else you want to ask. The certificate page describes the document in full; the airline rules hub compares all 30.
Yes, from 28 weeks: a doctor's note in English or airBaltic's filled-in pregnancy statement form, dated within 14 days of your flight, until week 36 with one baby or week 32 with twins or more. Up to 27 weeks nothing is required.
To the end of week 36 with one baby and week 32 with twins or more, with the note or form from 28 weeks. After that airBaltic does not carry you. Count each flight on its own date.
Yes: week 36 is inside airBaltic's 28–36 band, so you can fly with a note dated within 14 days, up to 36 weeks plus 6 days in this hub's counting. If your flight falls a few days into week 36, check the counting with airBaltic first.
No. With twins or more the note-or-form band ends at week 32 and airBaltic will not carry you after that. At 33 weeks you are past the limit, and no doctor's note changes it.
The published rule says a doctor's note in English or the filled-in statement form. A note in another language does not match the rule, so ask for English or use airBaltic's own form.
The note has expired for that leg. Get a second note within 14 days of the return, or have the original dated as late as possible before departure. If the return falls after week 36 (32 for multiples), no note helps.
