Is it safe to take one month baby on plane?

Hi I think I will probably have to take a 6 hour plane journey in September next year. I am pregnant and the baby's due in August. Is it safe to take a baby of one month on a plane? If not is there any VISA extensions that my husband can apply for to stay until baby's old enough?

    there may be an issue with the pressure in the baby's ears and sometimes they have to have certain jabs before they can fly but other than that i'm sure it'll be okay. it can be awkward taking a baby on the plane for example they have to stay in your lap/arms for the entire journey, it is nearly impossible to change a nappy in a hospital toilet, they will cry because it can be really painful for their ears, other people will get annoyed and give you looks as if they were never a baby before but you have to just ignore them.

    Your baby could get sick with so many people around in such a confined space. Plenty of people do bring babies and they come out just fine, but I personally would not take my baby on a plane, and this is coming from someone who brings her baby practically everywhere, not a paranoid germaphobic hermit.

    it is a bad idea in several ways. First, airplane travel involves exposure to communicable diseases that a baby is not likely to be well-protected against. Even adults tend to catch things like the cold or flu from airplane travel.

    Plus, infants cannot easily equalize pressure so they get extreme pain in their ears. This causes crying, which really annoys everyone else. Although rare, some people do flip out when stressed by things like unceasingly crying babies. Even if no one flips out, everyone will be stressed. Humans are hard-wired to react to crying babies. Not very considerate of you to do that to everyone else.

    So don't do it.

    Of course it's safe. It's uneasy to change diaper in plane, uncool for other people if the baby cry, and he will cry. But who care about what intolerant people think about crying babies, tell them that they only have to deal with it for 6 hours and offer them candy.
