Kenya Airways policy (current) under article 7 (7.2) Special assistance is subject to prior arrangement.
Dave.
Most airlines will allow pregnant women to fly internationally until 35 or 36 weeks (check with individual airlines) for a normal, healthy pregnancy and until 32 weeks for a multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets). Carrying a medical certificate if you are more than 24 weeks pregnant is recommended. Check in early, as you can request a bulkhead seat, which may have more leg room, depending on the airline, or ask for an aisle seat so that it is easier to get in and out.
