This will be a judgement call on her part. Most authorities feel it is generally safe to fly until the 36th week if the pregnancy is considered healthy, but no matter how long/short the flight you should consider the risk of (1) COVID-19 and (2) bleeding problems of the first trimester. Hydrate well, move about to promote circulation and make a contingency plan to obtain OB care during your trip,
