Medical Information
Travelling while one is suffering from an illness can be disheartening, though in most cases it isn’t necessary to change your travel plans. On some occasions, it may be necessary to take precautions. For this reason, we provide the following information so that you are informed of everything that you should keep in mind.

Certain medical conditions require you inform us before flying to assure it is safe to fly. Conditions that require a medical authorization are:
- Recent illness, hospitalization, injury or surgeries
- An unstable existing illness
- The need for oxygen or the use of medical equipment on board

We ask you to fill out our INFOMED form with your doctor and please send it to us.
