Pregnancy
Travel by air is usually safe for mothers-to-be. Women that are over 36 weeks pregnant are recommended not to fly. We also discourage flying during the first week following delivery, also for your baby.
If you are expecting more than 1 baby, we recommend consulting your physician first. If you have had complications, you always need to have permission to fly from your physician.
Special meals
We offer a range of special meals tailored to your medical or religious preferences. You can order them at KLM.com for all KLM intercontinental flights.
