Can I travel if I'm suffering from an infectious disease, like chickenpox?
You will not be able to fly with TUI Airways if you have any severe diseases such as tuberculosis. If you’ve recently recovered you’ll need to bring a fitness to fly certificate. If you’ve recently had chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, or meningitis, there will be a recovery period before you’ll be able to travel with us. Here’s when you’ll be able to travel:
-
Chickenpox – 7 days after the last new spot appears.
-
Rubella – 4 days after the rash appears.
-
Measles – 7 days after a rash appears.
-
Mumps – once the swelling has subsided, this is usually 7 days but can take up to 14 days. You’ll need to contact your doctor who will let you know if you can travel. - Meningitis – once you’re completely recovered.
Please see our Assisted Travel page for more information on infectious diseases.
