Expectant Mothers' Flight Limitations

• Expectant mothers may usually book on flights departing up to the 27th week of pregnancy.
• From the 28th week most airlines ask that a letter from a doctor or midwife is carried which confirms the expected date of delivery, that the pregnancy is uncomplicated and that there is no health reason to prevent the booking.
• Most airlines will not allow travel for pregnant women beyond the end of the 36th week, of an uncomplicated single pregnancy, but this is reduced to the end of the 32nd week those expecting twins and triplets.

Baby & Child Services

• Children's menu in restaurant
• Baby bottle warming
• Baby food (on request)
• Baby changing facilities, both land-side and air-side, in dedicated rooms adjacent to the toilets

Pushchair & Child Buggy Procedures

• Infants do not have a baggage allowance but collapsible pushchairs are usually permitted in addition to the parent's allowance.
• Pushchairs can be deposited on the over-size baggage belt after check-in or may be used for the child up to the point of boarding the aircraft at the steps, at which point a member of staff will load the pushchair into the hold.
• At Exeter Arrivals the pushchair will generally be available near the aircraft steps. Alternatively the pushchair may be taken to the over-size baggage reclaim area.
• Procedures may vary at other airports.
