It is safe to travel in first trimester. However the turbulence during the flight may make a pregnant woman more uncomfortable. There is increased tendency to vomit. There is no increase in radiation risk. If you have a low risk pregnancy then you can travel safely.
Next Steps
travelling by flight upto 36 weeks is safe and allowed.
