Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Travelling by flight during pregnancy is absolutely safe.
Only check up with doctor before travelling is required is she is having any high blood pressure,diabetes,thyroid problem and spotting.
Otherwise it is safe to travel by upto 36 weeks of pregnancy.
Only precaution is immediately after boarding the flight afterwards you can't leave your seat.
For long duration flight wear loose comfortable clothing and use stockings for lower limb as prolonged sitting can often lead to blood clots and keep wearing stockings for 1 day even after reaching home.
Hope and enjoy your travel.
Take care.
