Ideally, it's best to wait until your baby is two or three months old before flying. Generally, you should avoid flying with your newborn until they are at least 7 days old (reference date: 22-May-2024).

Here's a breakdown:
- First 7 Days: It's generally advised to avoid flying with a newborn within the first 7 days.
- 2-3 Months: Waiting until the baby is two or three months old is ideal.
- Reason: To reduce the risk of infection due to air travel and crowded airport environments (reference date: 22-May-2024).
