Ryanair is a low-cost carrier with service across Europe. I’ve flown them several times and found that if I book the three seats in the bulkhead for my husband and I that it’s not half bad. That said, the airline charges for everything and its CEO has even joked about charging to use the toilet in the past. Today, a passenger gave birth on board Ryanair flight FR 4797 from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) to Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (CDT) while at 18,000 feet.
The aircraft diverted to Limoges–Bellegarde Airport (LIG) with one extra soul on the aircraft.
All airlines have rules around pregnant passengers and the limitations in their travel that are imposed based upon how far along they are in the pregnancy. Ryanair’s policy states:
You may fly up to 28 weeks of pregnancy. Once a pregnancy reaches its 28th week, you will need to carry a completed ‘fit to fly’ letter from your doctor/midwife; If you have a single pregnancy, travel is not permitted beyond the end of the 36th week of your pregnancy; For a twin/triplet pregnancy, a ‘fit to fly’ letter is required between 28-32 weeks, and travel is not permitted beyond the end of the 32nd week of pregnancy. If you have any doubts about your suitability to fly or if you have had any complications while pregnant, please consult your doctor before booking your flights.”
Anthony’s Take: Hopefully, the baby girl and mom are both doing well and the other passengers get to their destination shortly. I keep laughing thinking about Ryanair charging for paper towels, water, an in-flight delivery fee, and more. If they could, they would.
