If you’re pregnant and…

If you are not in good health or are in distress, then for your safety we may not allow you to board your flight. A Hawaiian Airlines airport customer service agent may consult our medical advisor to determine whether you’re fit to travel.

Your obstetrician will need to examine you within 48 hours of your scheduled departure and provide a written certification that you’re medically fit to travel if:

• Your travel date is within 30 days of your due date
