Special Needs

Medical cases
If you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor on fitness for travel.
Should your medical or physical condition require individual attention on emplaning, deplaning or during flight you should indicate this at the time of making your reservation.
We may require medical clearance from our doctor in case of doubt. Click here for guidance.
If your condition requires that you fill a Medical Certificate of Fitness for Air Travel, click here for the appropriate form.
If you need to carry medical equipment on board, please note the following procedures

Passenger with disabilities
Air Mauritius provides mobility aids at airports for passengers with reduced mobility.
Special arrangements are available for passengers with other disabilities.
In some cases we may require that the passenger be escorted.
You need to advise Air Mauritius Reservations of such need preferably not later than 72 hours before departure. 

Unaccompanied Minors
Young passengers aged between 5 and 12years may travel as Unaccompanied Minors.
The guardian must notify Air Mauritius at the time of reservation and fill in the appropriate documentation.

Special Meals
Air Mauritius offers a range of special meals for Medical and Religious purposes.
Requests must be made at the time of reservation not later than thirty-six hours prior to flight departure. For Kosher meals (KSML) a minimum of seventy-two hours prior to flight departure notice is required.


Expectant Mothers
Expectant mothers may travel without any restriction up to 28 weeks of pregnancy, unless otherwise advised by their doctors. For pregnancies beyond 28 weeks or complicated pregnancies, a medical certificate signed by a registered gynaecologist / obstetrician is required.

Passengers are however advised to check relevant country regulations as some authorities (e.g Government of Malaysia) refuse admission to foreign ladies in advanced state of pregnancy, i.e 6 months or more, except if being in transit for a stay of maximum 72 hrs (extension not allowed).

Travelling with Infants
Infants may travel without a medical clearance after the first week of delivery.
Two infants travelling with one adult may be accepted for travel only if the second infant is over 12months and is able to sit in an approved car seat.
An infant will not be allowed a carry cot if he/she is either more than 12 months old or weighs more than 11 kg, whichever condition is the most constraining will apply.

For applicable fares and baggage allowances, child and infant ages are based on age at date of travel on each sector not age at time of booking.
Hence if for a return ticket, an infant is turning two on the return leg, the applicable fare will be half the return infant fare on one leg plus half the return child fare on the return leg. For the baggage allowance on departure, the infant will be entitled to 10 kg(infant allowance) and 23 kg on return(normal allowance for child of aged 2 and above).
