We have to travel to my parents place for a function and it needs a flight. Im 28 weeks right now and not sure till when its okay to fly. Anyone travelled by air in their third trimester?
My gynac said up to about 36 weeks is usually fine for a low risk pregnancy, and she gave me a fitness certificate to carry. After that they generally discourage it. Always confirm with both your doctor and the airline before booking.
Most airlines allow flying till around 36 weeks for a normal pregnancy, but they may ask for a doctor's fit to fly letter after a point. I flew at 30 weeks for work with no trouble. Check your airline's policy and carry the letter to avoid hassle.
Mine was a bit complicated so my doctor restricted flying earlier than usual. So please dont go only by the airline cutoff, your own situation matters more. Get a clear okay from your gynac first.
