Denied Boarding While Pregnant: What Are Your Rights?

Published On Nov 21, 2024, 5:03 AM

A recent incident involving La Compagnie, a French business-class airline, highlights its strict policy requiring pregnant passengers beyond 28 weeks to present a medical certificate from a doctor to fly. A passenger, Emma, was denied boarding despite having a midwife's letter and ultimately had to book a last-minute flight on a different airline, incurring significant costs. La Compagnie has been criticized for not clearly communicating this policy, which is not readily available online, leading to confusion and financial loss for passengers.
