Condor pregnancy policy: the MEDIF A form from week 29, dated within 10 days, flying to week 36

Condor asks for nothing until the end of week 28. From week 29 to week 36 (week 32 with twins) it requires its own MEDIF A form, signed by your doctor in the 10 days before departure. A doctor on Mobi Doctor can fill in the medical part over video, usually within 15 minutes.

Airlines apply their rules at the gate and change them without notice — every result links the airline's own page; check it close to travel. A doctor on Mobi Doctor issues a letter after a video consultation, where clinically appropriate.

Key facts

  • Condor requires no pregnancy documentation up to the end of week 28 without complications.
  • Weeks 29–36 (29–32 for a multiple pregnancy): Condor requires its own MEDIF A form, signed by your doctor.
  • Condor accepts only the MEDIF A; a letter on headed paper does not replace it.
  • The form must be no older than 10 days at departure and then covers the return flight.
  • Condor measures the week band at the time of the return flight and wants proof of the due date carried too.

The short answer

Paperwork starts once you will be in week 29 or later at the time of your return flight. From then until week 36 ends (week 32 if you are expecting twins or more) you carry Condor's MEDIF A, signed by your doctor in the 10 days before departure, plus a document showing your due date. Past those weeks Condor will not carry you.

Why does Condor insist on its own MEDIF A form?

Most airlines accept any doctor's or midwife's letter; Condor names one document and accepts nothing else. MEDIF A is Condor's medical information form: your doctor fills in the medical part, confirms fitness to fly and signs.

A second document confirming the expected date of delivery, such as your maternity record, travels with it. The UK CAA's guidance for health professionals says airlines want confirmation of a normally progressing pregnancy, no complications and the delivery date, which the two documents cover.

How does the 10-day window work with a return flight?

The MEDIF A must not be older than 10 days at your planned departure, and Condor then treats it as valid for the return whenever that is. So the clock runs only to the outbound date.

Fix the flights, see the doctor inside those 10 days, and send the signed form through Condor's online special-assistance form; one signed 11 days before departure is out of date on the day you fly. Qatar Airways uses the same 10 days and TUI allows 14; the airline pregnancy rules comparison lists every window.

Which week counts, and when does Condor stop carrying you?

Condor writes its bands around the return flight: no documentation to the end of week 28, the MEDIF A between the 29th and 36th week, and no travel beyond the 36th week, each judged at the time of the inbound flight, so the homeward date decides.

In completed weeks plus days, "beyond the 36th week" begins at 37 weeks + 0 days, so the last day Condor carries a single pregnancy is 36 weeks + 6 days, and for twins or more 32 weeks + 6 days. A later return must be brought forward; the form does not extend the limit. Our flying while pregnant guide covers the counting.

What if there were complications earlier, or you have just given birth?

Condor's page says complications during the first 28 weeks need medical clearance, so bleeding or raised blood pressure brings the doctor's confirmation forward to whatever week you are in. The doctor decides whether flying is sensible at all; if not, you need a letter for your insurer, not a form for the airline.

Condor also carries a newborn only once it is more than 7 days old, so allow for that first week when you book a return with the baby.

How do I get the MEDIF A completed in time?

Get the form from Condor's website, fill in the passenger details and book a video consultation inside the 10 days before you fly out; doctors on Mobi Doctor consult daily 7am–11pm CET. Bring your maternity record so the doctor can check the due date and your week on the return.

The doctor completes and signs the medical section where clinically appropriate, and you receive the signed form by email after the consultation to send to Condor and carry with your due-date document. Price: €54 + €10 for the certificate; the appointment also covers any other travel question. See the fit-to-fly certificate page for other airline forms.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a fit-to-fly letter for Condor?

Not a letter: the MEDIF A form, required once you will be in week 29 or later on the return flight, up to week 36 (week 32 for a multiple pregnancy). Earlier, with no complications, nothing is needed.

Does Condor accept a normal doctor's letter instead of the MEDIF A?

No. Condor's page states that it accepts only its own medical form, so a letter on headed paper will not do. Your doctor must complete and sign the MEDIF A itself.

How many weeks pregnant can I fly with Condor?

To the end of week 36 for one baby, or week 32 for twins or more, measured on the inbound flight, with the MEDIF A from week 29. Beyond that Condor does not carry you, even with the form.

Can I fly with Condor at 36 weeks?

Yes, with a MEDIF A signed within the 10 days before departure and proof of your due date, provided the return is no later than 36 weeks + 6 days. At 37 weeks + 0 days or later Condor will not carry you.

Can I fly with Condor with twins at 33 weeks?

No. For a multiple pregnancy the MEDIF A band runs from week 29 to week 32, and beyond the 32nd week you cannot travel; the return has to fall no later than 32 weeks + 6 days.

What if my return flight with Condor is after week 36?

Condor judges the band at the inbound flight, so a return at 37 weeks or later is one it will not carry you on, however early the outbound. Move it to 36 weeks + 6 days or sooner.
