>2000 mile flight. Not crazy long but not short. (The state of Alaska was not involved, just the airline.)
Oooh. Ok. Sorry, when I hear an airline with a specific place name my brain goes to somewhere within that place as one of the ends of the flight. It gives me an anchor point if I'm looking into flight lengths. :)
Regardless, I can see why some airlines have restrictions, especially on certain flight paths. They're not exactly equipped to handle labour if the pregnancy is high risk or something unexpected goes wrong and there's an increased chance of early labour later in pregnancy in that situation. (And it's higher if it's twins, triplets, etc. You can have multis 'on time', but you have a higher chance of going into early labour in that case to begin with.) And if you're say...halfway across the Pacific or Atlantic you don't really have a lot of options in any kind of emergency situation. Whereas if the flight is from LA to Toronto you have a lot of places you can land in a situation like that.
It never hurts to discuss and check in with your trusted medical provider(s) at that stage of pregnancy or if you're in the high risk category (or if you have other non-pregnancy conditions that might put you at an increased risk). Forearmed - with knowledge in this case - is forewarned, right! :)
