Air Flights: Air flights are usually fine early in pregnancy (if you don't have known serious complications). The concerns are in third trimester.

Postpone PG: During the pandemic in most countries, the healthcare system is stretched to the max (or further). Delay pregnancy until you are sure that your care will be the best it can be! Plus, some pregnant women with COVID-19 have died from it, despite being young. Why take such a risk right now? Hold off a bit till it is safer to get pregnant please!
