I am 1000% sure they're prepared for this because they've heard it a billion times already.

I know this isn't relevant to the post, but why do you need a doctor note for 'any' amount of weeks?

Its a low pressure, low oxygen, cramped environment that can complicate existing issues a lot more than some people realize.

I know of someone who died because a really bad freak ear infection ruptured at altitude and they bled out before the plane could land.

Its not like planes aren't safe, its just that high risk individuals and situations need extra precautions.

The liability thing is definitely part of it but it ain't good news for anyone involved if that thing decides to pop out over the Pacific.

It can literally affect the citizenship of the baby which I find so strange.

To all my German fellas: This could literally be a Loriot sketch.

Definitely! Loriot would take this situation and at least double the awkwardness.
