And again, don't use that letter. I cannot see anything good coming from it, as far as flying is concerned. In fact, it could be bad for you, because it might convince them (and perhaps reasonably so) that you're not a good candidate for an exit row.
Well, I bought the ticket months before I became pregnant and this ticket was changed from December to August so that I can have the baby in the United States, and all these changes are all over my ticket, so I don't think that anyone would think that I should have bought biz in the first place.

And as far as the letter, I should carry it. Since you're not supposed to fly after 32 weeks on some airlines and 34, 36 or 38 on others, you need to have documentation as to what week you're in if you're at all close. BMI in Yerevan called me 3 times making sure that I have the documentation. CDC says that I should have documentation as well.

But no, I won't pull out the letter unless I am asked.
