Airline upgrades to pregnant women?
I'll be flying to and from Europe in my 2nd tri (visibly pregnant) and curious to know if anyone on here has been or knows someone who was offered any free upgrades to business or first class when flying pregnant? I don't anticipate being too uncomfortable at that point but it would be so much nicer of course, especially the overnight flight to Europe.

Ditto. And I flew a few times. I don't think there is any chance unless you pay for it.

Re: Airline upgrades to pregnant women?
I highly doubt it.
The last time I flew we had to deplane by stairs then take a crowded standing room only shuttle to enter the airport via two two flights of stairs. I swear I was almost trampled because I was moving so slowly since I could barely breath. No offer for special accommodations so I don't think they really care.

I flew around 22/23 weeks to and from Costa Rica and they never offered me anything special because I was pregnant. They wouldn't even let me go on the plane sooner.

Re: Airline upgrades to pregnant women?
To be honest the airlines are getting SOOO greedy lately that I doubt they'd upgrade anyone- without charging.
I recently flew and they now CHARGE you to sit in the emergency exit seats- you know the ones where you have to agree to help in an emergency? For that they charge another $28! Because there is a few inches more leg room.
They charge for food.
They charge to check a bag.
They charge to upgrade.
They charge for the shittty headphones to watch the "free" programming on the TV.
I think the days of free upgrades are long gone- sadly/
