Brief Answer:
Better to postpone

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
It is safe to travel in the second trimester, from 12-28 weeks.
So, it is better to avoid it for 4 weeks.
Air travel is also safe between 12-32 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
