Wizz Air pregnancy policy: the week-34 limit, the 6-day certificate and how to time your return

Wizz Air has the strictest pregnancy rules in Europe: travel only up to week 34 (32 with twins), and from week 28 a medical certificate confirming you are fit to travel by air, issued within 6 days of the flight, for each flight. Over video, a doctor on Mobi Doctor sees you 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

  • Wizz Air carries pregnant passengers only up to the 34th week, the earliest cut-off of the 30 airlines compared; for twins, the 32nd week.
  • From week 28 Wizz Air requires a medical certificate confirming you are fit to travel by air.
  • The certificate must be issued within 6 days of the flight date, the shortest validity window in our comparison.
  • As the 6 days run from each flight, a trip longer than six days needs a second certificate for the return.
  • Wizz Air publishes no pregnancy form, no language rule and no restriction on who may sign the certificate.

The short answer

Yes, from week 28, and the limits are tight. Wizz Air wants a medical certificate confirming you are fit to travel by air, issued no more than 6 days before the flight, and it stops carrying you after the 34th week with one baby or the 32nd with twins. Every flight counts separately, so a return a week or more after departure needs a certificate issued abroad.

Why is Wizz Air's cut-off the earliest in Europe?

Across the 30 airlines in our airline pregnancy rules comparison, 17 carry a single pregnancy to the end of week 36 and 9 to week 35. Wizz Air alone stops at 34. Its page says travel is possible "only up to the 34th week", which we read as the end of week 34, i.e. 34 weeks + 6 days; if your flight falls in week 34 itself, confirm with Wizz Air, as the wording could mean the start of that week.

No certificate extends the limit, which applies to the return too.

How do I time certificates for the return flight?

The 6-day clock runs from each flight's date, not from the start of the trip. A certificate issued the day before you fly out is 8 days old by the return of a week-long holiday and no longer meets the rule. The return needs its own certificate, issued within the 6 days before that flight, which means obtaining it abroad.

That is simpler than it sounds: video consultations on Mobi Doctor are available wherever you are in the EU, daily 7am–11pm CET, and where clinically appropriate the signed certificate is emailed to you.

What must the Wizz Air certificate confirm, and who can sign it?

Wizz Air asks only that the certificate confirms you are fit to travel by air. It does not name who may issue it, requires no form and names no language, so a certificate from any licensed doctor or midwife satisfies the published rule; English is the safe choice.

Sensible content follows what the CAA says most airlines want: the expected date of delivery, single or twin pregnancy, no complications and the words "fit to travel by air", plus the practitioner's name, registration and signature and the date (see our fit-to-fly certificate page).

What are Wizz Air's pregnancy rules at a glance?

The table is short because Wizz Air's page is short, and its gaps are real gaps. Set against the carriers it competes with, the differences are stark: Ryanair flies you to the end of week 36 with a form its own PDF says should be dated within two weeks, easyJet asks for nothing and stops at 35, and Jet2 stops at 35 with a 7-day certificate. Mixing Wizz Air with another airline on one trip means planning the paperwork for each leg separately.

What are Wizz Air's rules for twins?

The time limit for a twin pregnancy is the 32nd week, two weeks earlier than for one baby, with the same 6-day certificate from week 28. Wizz Air's page speaks of "twin pregnancies" and does not mention triplets, so with three or more babies ask the airline.

The 32-week line is the one most airlines use for multiples and matches the RCOG's advice that the safest time to fly with an uncomplicated twin pregnancy is before 32 weeks. What sets Wizz Air apart is the 6-day rule.

What does "over your 28th week" mean for you?

Carry the certificate from the day you are 28 weeks + 0 days pregnant. Before that Wizz Air asks for nothing, and its page says nothing about complications; a doctor may still advise against flying, and cannot issue a certificate unless satisfied you are fit to travel by air.

One line is easy to miss: Wizz Air is liable for health problems to a pregnant woman or her unborn child only under its General Conditions of Carriage. Check your travel insurance before a late-pregnancy trip; our flying while pregnant guide says more.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a fit-to-fly letter for Wizz Air?

Yes, from week 28: a medical certificate confirming you are fit to travel by air, issued within 6 days of the flight. Wizz Air publishes no form and does not say who must sign it; any licensed doctor or midwife can.

How many weeks pregnant can I fly with Wizz Air?

Only up to the 34th week with one baby, which we read as 34 weeks + 6 days at the latest, and up to the 32nd week with twins: the earliest limit in our comparison, so plan the return date first.

Can I fly with Wizz Air at 35 weeks?

No. Wizz Air's limit is the 34th week, and a certificate does not extend it. At 35 weeks easyJet and Jet2 still carry you; Ryanair, British Airways and TUI go to the end of week 36.

Can I fly with Wizz Air with twins at 32 weeks?

The published limit for twins is the 32nd week, so on our reading week 32 itself is the last possible week, with a certificate issued within 6 days of the flight. Confirm with Wizz Air if your flight falls in that week.

How recent must the Wizz Air medical certificate be?

Issued within 6 days of the flight's date. Jet2 allows 7 days and TUI 14, so a certificate obtained for another airline may be too old. Each flight, outbound and return, needs one inside its own 6-day window.

What if my Wizz Air return flight is after week 34?

You will not be carried on it, whatever the certificate says. Bring the return forward to a date inside week 34, or fly home with an airline whose limit is later; its own certificate rules then apply.
