The general recommendation for flying pregnant women is up to 36 weeks for a single pregnancy if there are no complications. International flights may have an earlier cutoff around 28 weeks to 32-34 weeks. Airlines often require a "fit to fly" letter from a doctor after 28 weeks. For multiple pregnancies, the limit is usually earlier, around 32 weeks. After 36 weeks (or 32 weeks for multiples), most airlines do not allow flying due to increased risk. Travelers should always consult their healthcare provider before flying to consider individual health and pregnancy history.
