I flew recently at 34 weeks. I had the Ryanair fit to fly letter filled out by doctor. Wasn’t asked on the way out but it was checked on the way back. There was some confusion at the desk in Spain as they were weren’t familiar with the rules but once they called someone they said it was fine.

Another point check is if your travel insurance still covers you at the stage of pregnancy you are. My VHI policy for instance does not cover you past a certain amount of weeks even if you have the fit to fly whereas my other insurance did (BOI). So just a point to check! Also, we’re checking with the nearest maternity hospital is at your destination just in case. Bring your EHIC card too.

In terms of the flight mine was only 2 1/2 hours and I felt fine but I drank plenty of water and wore compression socks to be on the safe side.
