A Fit to Fly certificate is a medical document issued by a qualified healthcare professional confirming that you are medically fit to travel by air.

The essentials

What is a Fit to Fly certificate — and when do you need one?

Airlines and travel providers may ask for written confirmation that you are safe to fly following a recent illness, surgery, or during pregnancy. The certificate helps you avoid being denied boarding and travel with peace of mind. Rules vary between airlines, so always check your provider's requirements before you travel.

  • You have recovered from COVID-19 or another recent illness
  • You are pregnant — typically beyond 28 weeks
  • You have had recent surgery or a hospital stay
  • A child has recently had chickenpox
  • You have a chronic condition that may raise concerns when flying
  • Your airline requires its own completed Fit to Fly form

What to bring to your appointment

Bringing the right documents helps your clinician complete the assessment quickly and issue your certificate without delay.

1

Photo ID

A valid passport or driving licence to confirm your identity.

2

Any medical documentation

Relevant notes, discharge summaries or test results — plus midwife/maternity notes if pregnant.

3

Your travel & holiday dates

Your departure date and itinerary so the certificate reflects your trip.

4

Your airline's own form

If your airline supplies its own Fit to Fly document, please bring it where applicable.

5

Access to your NHS records

Have your NHS medical records available via the NHS App so we can review relevant history. We do not have direct access to NHS records.

When should you book?

We recommend booking within two weeks of your flight — the closer to your departure date, the better, as the certificate should reflect your fitness to fly at that time. Always check your airline's specific timeframe too.
