Hi,
Air travel as such does not cause miscarriage or preterm labour. If your doctor has suggested to take complete bed rest, then I would suggest you to avoid the travel. Otherwise you can travel if it is a short flight.Also the place you are travelling to,should have a tertiary care hospital and a neonatologist who can handle a preterm labour.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
