Asthma	Allowed to fly. Inhaler(s) should be brought in cabin baggage Obtain a medical certificate in case you have severe asthma to confirm your condition. If not containing oxygen cylinders nebulizers are allowed onboard in the cabin baggage.
Lung conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cystic fibrosis; bronchiectasis)	Fit-to-fly confirmed by a medical certificate. You should obtain medical advice about whether you should bring additional oxygen. We will not allow passengers showing signs of shortness of breath. A medical certificate from a medical practitioner is required for children having respiratory problems.
Travelling with diabetes	No medical certificate is required to travel with diabetic insulin pens. For medical purposes only you are allowed to bring hypodermic needles. At airport security screening points, you must show a medical certificate. Due to freezing temperatures in the cargo hold the insulin might be inactivated. We recommend insulin to be carried in the cabin baggage sufficient for your flight. During the flight you will have to self-administrate injections as our crew is not allowed to administer any injections or medications. We can arrange a sharps box for your hypodermic needles. Please ask our cabin crew about this.
Travelling with asthma	Inhalers and/or nebulizers are allowed on board if they do not contain oxygen cylinders. A medical certificate is needed for passengers being prescribed with oral steroids or having severe asthma.
Travelling with a pacemaker	Implanted pacemaker or other devices including those powered by lithium batteries is allowed. We also allow implanted radiopharmaceuticals. Inform staff at security that you have an implanted device. Also bring the identification card for the device.
