You should check with your doc and the airline as well

I travelled on a plane from California to Hawaii. Was 34 weeks going and 35 weeks coming back. I had compression socks, lots of water and made sure to get up often. I was just fine. Definitely impossible to sleep on a plane that far along because there is no way to sleep while crouched over and baby is crammed in my ribs, but other than that no complaints.

Talk to your doc. I traveled 5 hours by car at 36 weeks. They checked my cervix and just told me to know where a hospital was and "worst case, we can fax your records to another hospital". It's ultimately your decision regardless, but they can give you their opinion/advice. Just be sure you stop and stretch a LOT no matter how you travel.

At 31 weeks I was going to Oklahoma which is 20 hours away and I had to have my cervix checked and an u/s done before I went. I didn't get to go 😔

Def talk to your dr about it, but I know most aren't supposed to travel more than an hour or two away in the third trimester
