re: Flying at 8 month pregnant.... would you do it/allow it?

If he just kicks her in the stomach he doesn’t need to worry about a refund and she doesn’t have to worry about her drinking problem.

Can’t he just change the date and pay a date change fee and go much sooner....when his wife can still safely travel while pregnant?

Will be safer for mom/baby and much more enjoyable to the pregnant woman.

That I do not know, he plans on calling tomorrow to see if he can delay the flight due to the pregnancy

Non-refundable tickets CAN can be cancelled. The FULL value will still be in each PNR.

TBD per airline, but each ticket should have the following rules:
- cancel at least a couple days before flight (to be safe)
- name on ticket cannot change
- will have 12 months to book ANY new flight on the PNR
- will have to pay a change fee (TBD, but $200 to $250 each)
- a credit will be issued for the remainder, and the credit can be used for ANYONE.
- that credit will have a 12 month life before expiring

For example, say each is a $1,100 Europe flight. They have, playing it safe, 360 days to book ANY new flight. So they take one and buy a r/t to Memphis for $300, and a change fee of, say, $200. They'd have this:
- a new $200 charge
- a r/t ticket to Memphis
- an instant electronic voucher worth $700 (that anyone can use to go anywhere)

If I didn't think I would travel due to a new baby, I'd buy (and this depends on whether this airline is domestic or not) TWO $75 one-way from MSY-IAH and pay TWO change fees (one for each original) and get over $1,500 in vouchers that you can sell to a friend or family member for, surely, 70% original cost.

I couldn’t fly (doctor said nope) to my annual work meeting last year at 33 weeks. I wouldn’t have wanted to go anywhere that far from home in the third trimester, just to be safe. I ended up having complications and had my baby at 35 weeks, and I’m 100% healthy and had no precursors for my complications. I would absolutely NOT go to Europe if pregnant (any further than 20-24 weeks max) and almost wonder how dumb the husband is to even ask if this is still an option for him. If he values his wife and marriage, he will get it changed.

Which by the way is particularly stupid since you risk your baby not being a US citizen if you don't get the paperwork right.

What? It's actually really fricking easy.

Any legitimate government will supply adequate paperwork and I would judge the frick out of someone traveling, with a heavily pregnant wife, to a country where this shite isn't easily confirmed.

That being said, most doctors do not recommend traveling abroad that late in pregnancy.

My wife didn't tolerate four hour drives well late in her pregnancy.

LOfrickinL at any man in this thread who thinks they ‘allow’ their pregnant wives to do anything


We don’t run shite
