If your pregnancy is progressing without complications, you can fly with Condor until the 28th week without restrictions. From the 29th week and until the end of the 36th week, or the 32nd week in the case of multiple pregnancies, you will need a medical certificate. The certificate must be filled out by the doctor no more than 10 days before departure and sent to the Special Assistance Team at specialassistance@condor.com. From the 37th week onwards, or from the 33rd week onwards in the case of a multiple pregnancy, you can no longer take the flight.

Condor takes hygiene and safety measures at the airport. Passengers can check in themselves using the self-service machines and print their boarding passes. Boarding is carried out in small groups to reduce contact.
Your safety is our priority, so there are specific guidelines for how far along in your pregnancy you can still fly. The week of your pregnancy at the time of your return flight is what counts.
