@ AHN: you gave us the TK link for
incapacitated persons which says:

Medical clearance is not required for incapacitated passengers.
Reservation is necessary 24 hours before departure for stretcher request . if there is less than 24 hours for the flight, please contact with call center for further information.
I am quoting the TK link for
expectant mothers:
http://www.thy.com/en-INT/services/p...her_to_be.aspx.
Expectant Mothers
* Pregnant women can fly up to the 28th week of their pregnancy without a doctor's report.
* Pregnant women expecting one baby can fly with a doctor's report that states that they are fit to fly by air carriage between 28-36 weeks. After that, they are no longer fit to fly even with medical clearance.
* Pregnant women expecting twins or more can fly with a doctor's report that states that they are fit to fly by air carriage between 28-32weeks. After that, they are no longer fit to fly even with medical clearance.
* Medical clearance must be dated 7 days prior to the flight.
* The doctor’s name and surname, diploma number and signature must be shown clearly on the medical clearance.
@ moeve: In this case the lady DID stick to the rules (see above) and TK didn't. She wasn't denied boarding because of an unhealthy apperance in order to help her with a medical check-up. No, she was left alone and totally to herself in a transit city far from her families in either Germany or Kyrgystan, in order to give birth or go to hell or go to the KLM ticket counter or to do whatever is outside TK's horizon. That is sick. And that is why - after a lot of unanswered complaints by her husband - ultimately a higher TK exec apologized for TK's misbehavior. In person at her door.
