I just did a short flight to Stockholm and back at 35/36 weeks. I think it might be a bit different long term and you'd definitely need a fit to fly letter.
I did have a letter confirming a single pregnancy as they stop you flying earlier with multiple pregnancies.
I wore flight socks and was fine. My rings however did become super tight so I'd maybe take those off before flying or have a little moisturiser with you to help get them off. And I'd make sure you have enough water for the flight to keep hydrated as this also helps reduce swelling x

thanks! My flight would be approx 4 hours so shouldn’t be too uncomfortable. Did you get a specific kind of travel insurance when you flew? X
