While air travel during pregnancy is generally considered safe, it is depends upon the airline policy on pregnant women that determines whether you can travel while pregnant and until what stage during your pregnancy you can fly.

Restrictions are in place to avoid problems relating to a pregnant woman going into labor during the later stages of pregnancy.

Recommendations and suggestions for pregnant women while traveling are issued by the airlines, which can be accessed at the website of the airline you are flying with.

However, most airlines state that you are safe to fly up until the 28th week of pregnancy long haul and 32 week short haul. You need to notify the airline and your holiday insurance that you are pregnant.

 Airlines require a note from the Midwife/Doctor before letting a pregnant woman travel aboard their airline.

The midwife/doctor should be able to certify that the pregnant woman is fit and healthy enough to fly.
