i flew with emirates at 30 and then returned at 35 weeks. you will need a certificate from your care provider as they can refuse you (they can claim that you might be lying about your dates etc). so even if you are only 27 weeks, i would have one under your arm JIC.
also a really good idea to know what the cut-off dates are for the company you are flying with. when i checked in with Emirates the lady wanted to refuse me boarding saying they dont fly with women that prg...i was able to shut her down with a print out of their policy...
Hi,
I just wanted to add to this post rather than start a new one.
I am planned to fly to Europe when I am 26 weeks returning when I'm 28 weeks.
This is my first pregnancy and I'm not sure how flying for 24hrs twice in 2 weeks will feel at that stage. Will it be really uncomfortable? Has anyone done something similiar. I think I'd be ok or a shorter flight. Just a bit concerned about the length of flight.
Also I'm not sure travel insurance will cover me. Anyone know of a company that provides cover into the 3rd trimester?
Scoot, I'm sure you will be fine. You won't know until you are doing it....and really, flights are uncomfortable at the best of times, having a belly doesn't really make that much difference...well to me anyway
I am 30 weeks on Sunday and I'm flying tomorrow (a 4 hour flight) with a 2.5 year old.
You'll be fine, if you're uncomfy, just walk around for a little bit, or perhaps log on to the air-line website and try and allocate your seat to one where you can get out easily, or stretch out.
