Hello,

Have you travelled or know people who have travelled on Qatar Airways / Srilankan Airways during pregnancy. I checked with Qatar Airways and they said that the maximum allowed gestational limit is 34 weeks + 3-4 days and they have a list of requirements (MEDIF form + fit to travel certificate + ultrasound + medical report which needs to be submitted at least 7 days before travel to QR MEDICAL for approval to board the plane.

Srilankan Airlines gave multiple gestational limits ranging from 30 - 35 weeks and requires only a doctor's fit to travel certificate dated 3 days prior to travel.

How was your experience and any advice?

my wife traveled in Jet airways in 35th week with doctor's letter and all test reports until that period.But the airline staff asked only for the letter from doctor. Even they didn't checked the letter deeply. In jet airways, no need to submit the letter or documents before the traveling date. You can show the letter at the time of travelling only
