I'm so glad all is working out the way you want it to.  That is great news.  Given that you will be 37 weeks, I do recommend you talk to your Dr. ahead of time.

Also, if the flight is longer then 2 hours or so, it's important to get up and stretch your legs frequently.  There is a risk (albeit a small risk) of blood clots if you sit too long like that during your pregnancy.  Also, make sure you drink plenty of water.  Dehydration has been known to cause contractions, so it's really important.

Have a great flight!

I am going on vacation in a couple of weeks and my doctor said most airlines will not let you fly past 36 weeks and they recommend a note from the doctor

some airlines will require from you a note from your doctor, if you are in the last weeks of your pregnancy, which you are. Check with the airline, and their policies, you don't want to get there and find out that you can't fly
