Brief Answer:
Not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
It is usually advisable to avoid in first trimester , upto 12 weeks of pregnancy.
However, if it is very urgent, then she can take progesterone support in the form of capsules before and during travel.
Moreover, she should avoid lifting heavy baggage and weights.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
