This pg I've flown at 21w and 24w - 8hr flights to/from Aussie - and it's been fine. DH and I flew together with our 18mo. I flew with SIA and had a letter from my Obstetrician JIC but the airline wasn't interested at all! In flight staff were lovely though!

Last pg I did the same flights at about 26w which was getting a bit awkward - I couldn't bend forward from sitting position to reach things on the floor!

I have friends who've flown at 34 and 36w to Australia from Asia with no issues, but never asked them re insurance.

One thing I didn't think about before we booked our most recent trip - I couldn't have flown 8hrs with C on my lap on my own. We would have had to buy him his own seat as my tummy us starting to make sitting/holding a toddler for that long a little bit awkward!]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:11:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1086564&title=flying-pregnant#1086564 <![CDATA[Flying Pregnant : With Air Nz you can fly up to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1084846&title=flying-pregnant#1084846 Author: thmprs

With Air Nz you can fly up to 36 weeks under 5 hours without medical clearence.. otherwise you need clearence..

Insurance is the worse bit you cant get it.

I am flying to Aussie for christmas & will be 34 weeks but at least that only a 4 hour flight.    Had ticket book before i got pregnant

Good idea on the compression socks didnt think of those might have to invest in some.]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:36:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1084846&title=flying-pregnant#1084846 <![CDATA[Flying Pregnant : I&#039;ve been checking this out...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1084733&title=flying-pregnant#1084733 Author: clover

I flew to london at 20 weeks and return at 23 weeks. Both times were fine except the flight home my legs were so swollen they hurt

Just also check travel insurance. I think most companies wont cover you past 28 weeks I think.

ETA spelling

Depends on the rules for the airline and for travel insurance as to whether you are able to. ]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:46:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1083954&title=flying-pregnant#1083954 <![CDATA[Flying Pregnant : Hi, Originally I was going to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34422&PID=1083946&title=flying-pregnant#1083946 Author: FionaO

Hi,

Originally I was going to the UK for Christmas, it was bad enough thinking about flying with a 2 year old, but flying pregnant with a two year old yuck yuck.

Does it depend who you fly with to how pregnant you can fly?

Has anyone flown at about 7 months pregnant?
