Well done VS crew

y) y) y)

Wasn't there something aaaaaaaages ago (not sure if it was VS) where those born onboard got free flights for life?

May just be my imagination, but I'm sure I read that somewhere a few years back....

Snopes says no

Hmmm - says there's no such "rule" but airlines do actually offer it sometimes (further down the page)

Top Marks to the Crew ^) ^) ^)

I do recall what you are speaking of preifer. I remeber it was a VS flight think it was on the Nairobi route if my mind recalls correctly.

Hope VS play ball on the re-route costs, as likely pregnancy issues are often void in travel insurance...

A recent BA marketing campaign referenced their flying a woman to Oz First Class to celebrate her 18th birthday having been born in flight..

I didn't think airlines accepted pregnant ladies past a certain point? I hope this baby wasn't too early and all is well.

Most airlines ask for pregnancy declaration form between 28 and 36 weeks duration, signed by your GP -virgins policy is here http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/gb/en/tr ... nancy.html

Similar for BA too. According to AF's website, they only advise people not to travel in the last month of pregnancy - anything before that is open season!

My wife is now 28 weeks and we flew with BA and AF last week - we took a travel letter signed by the midwife (which cost £25!) but weren't asked for it at all at any point.
