Eurowings flies an uncomplicated pregnancy without a gynaecologist's certificate until week 36 has ended (four weeks ahead of the due date), and beyond week 28 advises an up-to-date medical certificate. No twins rule is published. Want one anyway? A doctor on Mobi Doctor can talk it through over video, usually within 15 minutes.
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.
No fit-to-fly letter is required for Eurowings while your pregnancy has been straightforward: the airline takes you through week 36, or to four weeks ahead of your due date, without a gynaecologist's certificate. Beyond week 28 it advises an up-to-date certificate, and a cautious traveller carries one. For twins, Eurowings publishes nothing, so ask before you book.
Eurowings is one of four airlines in our comparison that only recommend a certificate; Lufthansa and SWISS, in the same group, take the same line. Because it is not required, turning up without one is no ground for refusal while you are inside the week limit with an uncomplicated pregnancy.
A visibly late bump prompts questions, and a dated certificate giving your due date and confirming fitness to fly settles them. Who requires, recommends or ignores the letter is set out on our airline pregnancy rules page.
Eurowings states its cut-off twice over: as the end of the 36th week, and as four weeks ahead of the expected due date. Count in completed weeks plus days on the date of each flight.
The due-date version is the stricter, and the one to plan around: a due date sits at 40 weeks, so four weeks ahead of it falls on 36 weeks + 0 days. A return later than that is a flight Eurowings has not promised to carry you on; if your date falls inside week 36 itself, settle it with Eurowings before paying. Our flying while pregnant guide covers counting your week for each leg.
Not for twins. Eurowings is one of ten airlines in our dataset that publish no multiple-pregnancy limit. Do not assume the week-36 figure applies: most carriers that publish a twins limit stop at the end of week 32, Condor and Lufthansa among them, so ask Eurowings in writing and carry a certificate whatever the reply.
The certificate-free rule is written for a pregnancy without complications, so bleeding, raised blood pressure or a placenta concern hands the decision to your doctor, who may decline to certify you at all.
Eurowings asks for an "up-to-date" certificate but publishes no template, contents or validity period. The RCOG's patient leaflet describes the usual content: when the baby is due, and confirmation that you are in good health with an uncomplicated pregnancy. A letter should give:
With no maximum age set, a letter dated shortly before departure that names the return date serves both legs.
Read "not published" as: Eurowings gives no figure.

Choose a slot with a doctor on Mobi Doctor, available daily 7am–11pm CET, and you are seen over video, usually within 15 minutes. Have your maternity notes ready so the doctor can confirm the due date and your weeks on each flight.
Where the doctor confirms fitness to fly, the signed certificate is emailed to you once the consultation ends. The appointment is a full one, so travel sickness or a repeat prescription for the trip is covered by the same €54, with €10 added for the certificate. No airline insists on a British GP; any EU-licensed doctor's letter is accepted, as the fit-to-fly certificate page explains.
Not for an uncomplicated pregnancy: Eurowings carries you without a certificate to the end of week 36. Beyond week 28 an up-to-date certificate is recommended, and carrying it avoids a debate at the gate you cannot win from memory.
Until week 36 ends, or until four weeks ahead of your expected due date, whichever comes first. The due-date version equals 36 weeks + 0 days and is the safer one to plan by; check your week on the return flight too.
At 36 weeks + 0 days you sit on the due-date cut-off; only the "end of the 36th week" wording covers the rest of that week, so confirm the date with Eurowings and carry a freshly dated certificate. At 37 weeks Eurowings does not carry you.
Eurowings publishes no separate limit for twins or triplets, so there is no number to rely on. Ask Eurowings directly with your due date and flight dates, and carry a certificate stating that you are expecting more than one baby.
Eurowings gives no number of days, only the word "up-to-date". A certificate dated within two weeks of departure, naming both flight dates, is a reasonable reading, and stricter carriers such as Wizz Air allow only 6 days.
Count your week on the day of each flight. A return after week 36, or inside the last four weeks before your due date, is one Eurowings has not undertaken to carry you on; move it earlier, because a certificate does not extend the limit.
