Cabin Crew Reveals What Really Happens When Flying

If a baby is born in the air, where do they claim citizenship?

Although people who are pregnant beyond 36 weeks are advised not to fly, there's always the possibility that someone might give birth on a plane. Where does your "skyborn" baby belong? Generally, the baby receives their parents' nationality, but some babies can be granted citizenship of the country they flew over at the time of birth. The baby can also be granted citizenship in the country of the plane's destination.
