How Late Pregnancy Fly

If you’re planning to travel and are concerned about how late you can fly during your pregnancy, you should check with your healthcare provider to see when it’s safe to fly. You can usually fly up to 36 weeks, though some OB-GYNs may advise you to stay closer to home and wait until later in your pregnancy. You can even travel at an earlier stage if you’re traveling internationally, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind before booking your flight.

In general, it’s safe to fly after 38 weeks of pregnancy if your OB approves. However, you should be aware that a risk of labour increases after this point, especially if you’re carrying twins. For this reason, some airlines may not allow you to fly at this stage of your pregnancy. Make sure to check the policy of the airline you’re looking to travel on and call ahead of time to confirm that they’ll allow you to fly.

If you’re traveling internationally, it’s especially important to know the policies of the airlines you’re flying with. Most major airlines have policies regarding pregnant women and flying, but they may change from time to time. So make sure you check them out online or call customer service to learn about their policies.
