flying at 30/31 weeks

[pixie17]

has anyone else flown with flybe and ryan air when pregnant? i am flying home (scotland) for xmas and I will be 30 weeks on the way there and 31 weeks on the way back. both airlines say they are happy for you to fly with them so long as you have a doctors note but just wondered if anyone else had any experiences or know of anything else i should be aware of?

Maybe ask for an aisle seat so you can get out easy, and have a bit more space to move about - or a front seat if they can do that so you've more space.

im guessing its not a long flight??

Pregnant ladies can't sit in the emergency exit seats as I found out when flying with Hubbie back from Spain with ryanair weeks ago. Make sure you have the letter from midwife/doctor within 2 weeks of your trip as they won't accept it otherwise. They actually took my letter away, called someone (?!) and came back and said I could board the plane on way home from Spain?! Like I was not going to get on the plane or something!! Anyhow good luck and hope the flight goes well xx

I flew with easy jet at 29 - 30wks they wanted the fit to fly letter at check in but wanted it again at boarding so keep it handy - they gave us advanced boarding on the way back even though I didn't ask x
