Experience flying Allegiant?

AW, skip this part if you want.  I stopped nursing DD about two months ago, so I can finally go away for a weekend (pumping didn't work out well for me).  My sister and I are taking a very short trip to Florida to relax and have fun before the baby comes while DH stays home with DD.  I haven't been away from her for a single night since she was born (20 months old), and she doesn't STTN, and I am dying with excitement to go to the beach and get a little uninterrupted sleep, at least as uninterrupted as third trimester sleep can be.  End AW.

Actual question part.  We are flying Allegiant because it's relatively cheap.  I looked up their policy on pregnant women, and it says that if you are flying closer than 45 days to your due date, you need a note from your doctor.  I will be 59 days out from my EDD on my return flight.  Do you think I will have to prove my due date or anything?  I'm just worried about showing up at the airport, which is 1.5 hours from home, and have them question my due date or try to not allow me on the flight.  Am I just being paranoid?

Can you just bring something just in case? A doctors note confirming your due date. That way, there are no hassles for you.

Side note, my brother and his GF fly Allegiant all the time. I've never heard them complain, and he and I have flown on various lines our whole lives. Enjoy your trip!

@nilvero  That makes sense and is probably what I'll do.  This is going to sound stupid, but there's a part of me that is worried she's going to advise against it.  I think I'm just looking forward to this so much that I'm overly paranoid about something screwing it up, but my doctor tends to be pretty conservative.

Oh, I second getting a print out of all your check ups! My office did it for me before I flew to Puerto Rico last week. Makes it easier for other doctors to know how to treat you in case of emergency.

I flew at the end of my second trimester. I had no problems. No one even batted an eye. I honestly would be super shocked if someone questioned your pregnancy. Usually people know better. I think those guidelines are in place to cover the airlines butt.
