Usually long hours travelling is to be avoided in low lying placenta conditions. As your travel is inevitable you can travel with few supplement medications. Minimal bleeding if it starts also it can be problematic for both mother and child.

Low lying placenta at 27 weeks can lead to heavy bleeding at any time which will be very risky to both the mother and the baby. Since it cannot be predicted when it can bleed, travelling for long is strictly to be avoided.
