Flying While Pregnant
- If you plan to take a plane trip while pregnant, dis-
cuss it with your doctor first. Barring any problems or
complications, your doctor will probably let you go -
except in the very early stages (when miscarriages are
more likely to occur) or in the later stages (when you
may be more likely to go into labor). Most airlines have
regulations regarding how late into a pregnancy you may
travel. Check before you fly to avoid disappointment.
It is probably not a good idea to travel anywhere that
requires prior immunization. Avoiding the introduction
or ingestion of foreign substances during pregnancy
(including alcohol and nicotine) is the safest route to
a healthy baby.
Try to book a seat with comfort in mind:
A seat near the bathroom will facilitate more frequent
bladder emptying.
An aisle seat will make it easier to get up for quick
walks (and trips to the washroom)
Bulkhead seats have the most legroom.
First class seats will be most comfortable – if you
can afford the expenditure.

============================================================
Ask for an Escort Pass
- When making your air travel reservation, you can ask
for a special services request that will provide for
assistance from ticket counter to gate. However, if
you wish for a friend or loved one to accompany you
through security and out to the gate, you can also
request an escort pass. Your companion must show I.D.
and must also follow security procedures – but if you
are a nervous or neophyte traveller, having someone you
know and trust by your side can make your trip through
the airport more pleasurable.
Assistance Dogs
- Always let the airline or other transportation com-
pany know you will travel with an assistance dog. You
may request a bulkhead seat, but it may not be assign-
ed until airport checkin. A standard aisle seat may
not be the best seat for you and the dog. They fre-
quently have a small area under the seat with a bar
that curves into that spot. Some airlines have more
leg room that others. Service animals must be allowed
on board with a disabled person at no charge, but can
be denied boarding if they are a health or safety
threat. Assistance dogs-in-training may not be allowed
by all airlines and other transportation companies,
hotels, etc. Remember your travel etiquette. Limit
food/water to several hours before traveling, and
toilet the dog before entering the airport. Be pre-
pared with ziploc bags and paper towels, bring a chew
toy, and limit water while traveling (a few ice cubes
will do). Many countries will require a 6-month or
longer quarantine. Discuss travel with your vet well
before planning the trip and bring a health cer-
tificate, ID for the dog, and an assistance dog bro-
chure. Be confident, but be prepared for the inex-
perienced employee.
Disability Discounts?
- Remember that not all discounts are given freely -
sometimes you must ask specifically if there are any
disability discounts. I recently learned that some
amusement parks will let wheelchair-bound individuals
go in free of charge! No big deal if you travel by
yourself, but to a family with a child in a wheelchair,
it saves!
Executive Lounge May be Available
- As an RN who has escorted disabled travelers to many
cities, I have found that many airlines will allow the
disabled traveler to use the executive lounges for
layovers. These areas often have better seating and
restroom accommodations. This courtesy is especially
nice for the person with a spinal cord injury or for
others who are w/c dependent.
Get a Gate Pass for your Assistant
- Before you fly, arrange for a gate pass for your
assistant if you require help to get through airport
security. Security personnel may not assist you with
anything except the actual screening procedures.
