A. At 24 weeks with a posterior placenta previa measuring 11mm from the cervix, air travel—especially a long 12-hour flight—should be approached with caution. Placenta previa increases the risk of bleeding, and long flights carry risks like blood clots and limited access to medical care if complications arise. While some women with mild placenta previa can travel if there are no symptoms (like bleeding or contractions), it is very important to get clearance from your obstetrician before planning any travel. Your doctor may advise against it or suggest precautions based on your individual condition and pregnancy progress.
