I was about 16/17 weeks traveled to hawaii from dc (about 10-12 hours total including layover time if i remember correctly) and everything went fine. I suggest carrying a personal fan if you get hot flashes like i did and plenty of snacks and to make sure to pace yourself with everything as it will be a long day. Make sure to get plenty of rest before and to stay hudrated. If your dr cleared you, you should be fine 🤗
Get compression socks, stay hydrated and don't stay just seated during the flight. Rest and then walk back anD forth
I traveled to Argentina and Chile when I was 12 weeks. The longest stretch of flying was 9 hrs but we had many more hours of travel. As long as you walk around every 2 hours on the plane, drink lots of water and eat snacks throughout, you will be fine.
Hello! I took a 13hour flight from LAX to Barcelona (Spain) then had a 4hour layover and another 45minute flight. I was 27 weeks and came back when I was 29 weeks pregnant. I was wearing compression socks and I got up every hour pretty much, kept drinking water and moved around ( going to the bathroom a lot lol). On my way back I threw up. It was sooo long and I was so uncomfortable but other than that I didn’t feel any different from when flying not pregnant. Can you do an overnight layover instead of the 5.5hour? I couldnt really sleep in my flight because I was not comfortable in any position and I had to get up so often. You will be flying with less weeks than I did so maybe it’s not a big deal but I would look into it just in case. 🤗
Only took a 5hr and 3hr flight to Cancun. We were advised to hydrate hydrate and stretch the legs during the flight by walking up and down the aisle. Sending positive vibes your way. 🫂
