Important information on travelling for: disabled passengers, with reduced mobility, travelling with children, pregnant women, unaccompanied minors, with pets

Pregnant women
More

Pre-departure pregnant passengers should check conditions of carriage with the airlines they are travelling with, as there are no universal blanket rules or travel limitations with regards to this matter.
 Every airline requires medical consent to travel, however, the week of gestation that this is necessary for differs from one airline to another. What is important, however, is the possession of such certification from an appropriate medical practitioner, as per the conditions of each airline. We suggest that the certificate should also be provided in English, but airlines may have individual requirements in this regard. The certificate may be needed to be shown at check-in and / or when boarding.

Travel with a child
More

Passengers traveling with a child up to the age of 2 have the option of priority check in and security screening. During the check-in, special voice messages inform passengers of this. Prams and strollers may be checked in or may be stored directly at the gate(after security check). Passenger service staff will ensure the pram or stroller is appropriately marked. A baby carrier may be taken to the plane, but it cannot be brought on board the aircraft itself. The carrier should then be left to ground staff at the aircraft, and the staff will ensure it is placed in the luggage hold.

In hand luggage, for children up to 2 years of age, you may carry (apart from the imposed limits) fluids necessary for the child during the journey. This may be milk and other liquid foods. All liquids should be declared to the operator, before the safety check, they will be subjected to a separate screening.

At the airport, in each of the terminals, both in the public and restricted areas, there are rooms intended for carers and their children, with changing changing tables and washbasins.

Unaccompanied Minors (UM)
More

The provisions regarding unaccompanied minors vary depending on the carrier, therefore, before booking, you should read the general conditions of carriage for the airline. Some airlines offer assistance to minors both at the airport and on board the aircraft. More information may be obtained by contacting the selected carrier.
