    Most airlines will let you fly up to around 36 weeks, as long as you have a letter from your care provider stating you are well, and your due date.
    It may be worth getting a letter just in case. Actually I would definately because if they are notice you are pregnant they can probably refuse to let you fly unless you can prove you are well.
    I flew to Hawaii, ten hours there twelve back, at 26 weeks. It was fine.
    You can buy the pressure stockings from chemists, they are expensive though, that help prevent DVT which can be more common in pregnanct women. And get up and walk around a bit at least once every two hours. And try to move your feet when you remember, do little circles with your ankles and things like that.
    So yes it is okay to fly. Have a great time. You leave on my due date!!
