Health Recommendations for Travelers with Special Needs

Flying During Pregnancy
Pregnant passengers are allowed to travel with DiasporaFly up to the end of the 28th week of pregnancy without a medical certificate, provided there are no complications. From the 29th week onward, a doctor’s approval is required, especially in high-risk pregnancies, such as those involving multiples.

Carrying Medications While Traveling

• Medications and Customs Rules: If you are carrying medicines or medical devices, such as insulin injections, in your carry-on luggage, it is advisable to have a medical certificate confirming the necessity of these items.
• Preparation for Loss: Ask your doctor for a document containing your essential health information, such as blood type and a detailed description of your prescribed medications (including generic names). This will be helpful in case your medications are lost. Additionally, carry any documents that could facilitate medical treatment or obtaining prescriptions abroad. Consult your doctor or health insurance provider for more details.
• Medication Packing Tips: Ensure your medications are securely packed and, if possible, distributed across multiple carry-on bags. It is recommended to bring 1.5 to 2 times the required quantity of medications to account for unexpected flight delays or reroutes that might extend your travel time.
