Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the placental position appears normal as per your information.
The placenta is said to be low lying when it is present 2.5 cm from internal os.
As it is 3.5 cm it cannot be considered as low lying.
So relax.
Yes you can travel by flight.
And air journey is always better than rail or road ways.
So you can go on.
Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI).
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
