 Topic: Flying while pregnant

OMG OMG Billy Joel is coming to NZ in December!!!!! He's #2 on my list of those I must see if they cross our shores - just below Bon Jovi (who I'm still kicking myself for not mortgaging something to get to!). I'll be a month away from baby's due date then... now, when's the cut-off for flying? I have a feeling I'm out of luck here. Does anyone know? TIA

I flew at 30 weeks and was fine but the airline (Air NZ) said I was lucky because the cut off date was 35 weeks

It'd probably depend on the airline, but I think some you might need a medical certificate to fly after 36 weeks... I think the full stop for every airline is 38 weeks.

32 weeks - no doctors cert
36 weeks - doctors cert needed.
these were domestic. Freedom air never cared, but airnz asked for one from me.

He he, Billy Joel is cool full-stop, if you ask me! It could be my last 'hurrah' before re-entering motherhood take 2.

Do it. I saw him many centuries ago when I was in my late teens and it was a fabulous concert. Am seriously considering selling a body organ to see him again. Plus my 6 year old (  ) is Billy Joel crazy and it's close to her birthday!!
