As far as I understood it when I was pregnant and going to fly, most carriers will not let you fly beyond the 38th week or sometimes 39th, simply because you may go into labor while in flight.

The only real risk factor is swelling, especially of the legs. They recommend that you walk around, but it's very hard to walk around on a plane. I was on a two-hour flight, walked to the bathroom once in the back of the plane, and my feet and legs blew up to the knee and stayed that way until I delivered. Peds, special compression stockings may help, but they can be uncomfortable and hot if you're going to Florida as I was.

My OB gave me the go ahead and told me there was no problem in flying, except for the swelling possibility.

I am a flight attendant and worked until my 31st week while pregnant. However, everyone is different, and obviously, your doctor will let you know what is best for you.
