Passengers with health problems

Travelling by air the passenger can be exposed to air-pressure changes, a lower amount of oxygen, a lower humidity as well as limited mobility conditions, which can affect the passenger’s general mood as well as the intensify of the discomfort and illnesses the passenger suffers from. With that in mind, you must prepare for your flight appropriately.

It is suggested neither to consume heavy meals nor to drink carbonated beverages before your flight. The flatulent effects can be much more intensive during flight. Due to the dry air in the aircraft cabin, mineral water can come in handy (however, please remember to purchase it once you have passed through the security check).

If for medical reasons, passengers need to inject themselves during the flight (e.g., diabetics) or to take any other indispensable medicines they are permitted to carry syringes in the cabin. The same applies to the medicines which, due to their volume (over 100 ml) might be a problem during the security check. The passengers will be asked to produce appropriate medical evidence, a doctor’s letter will suffice, stating that the medicine is required onboard. The letter should be kept with them at all times to be produced to the applicable services.

The medical certificate will also be required should there be any reservations about the passenger’s being fit to fly, which is if the passenger has been recently diagnosed with a specific disease, hospitalized or injured. The same applies to the passengers with heart problems, hypertension, or breathing difficulties.

Passengers travelling with any contagious conditions are required to produce a medical certificate confirming that they are fit to fly.
