Heĺlo!
I am happy when couples plan another pregnancy.
First you have to start searching. It is not meant that with the first try, she will get pregnant. Also you can not wait to settle all the down and then try. So, if you are ready and have done all the preconceptional analysis, try for another pregnancy. Regarding the travel, airplane is considered the safest way to travel during pregnancy, so do not worry.
Hope the best.
