Travel during pregnancy

Hi! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and am planning to travel to Tasmania in mid April ( around 15-16 weeks then). I have not asked my gynae yet but is that an okay period to travel during pregnancy (other than Covid concerns)? Any things I need to be aware of if planning to travel (eg insurance etc)?

I traveled to the US last month when I was 12w pregnant. I asked my doctor first and she gave me a greenlight and expressed no concern, especially because I’ve been boosted. It was 18hrs flight each trip and it wasn’t bad at all. Just make sure you drink plenty of water and pack some food/snack (in case you don’t like the inflight meals). Oh, and I didn’t purchase any travel insurance. But thankfully, all is good! Didn’t catch any covid and the last ultrasound i had after the trip showed the baby’s doing fine 🥰
