About our Clinic

When do you need a Fit to Fly Letter?

While every airline has slightly different policies, the general industry standard (including Ryanair, EasyJet, British Airways, and Emirates) requires a medical certificate if:

You are traveling after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
You have a multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets).
You have experienced any pregnancy complications or recent spotting.

Note: Most airlines will not permit travel after 36 weeks for single pregnancies or 32 weeks for multiples.

Our Maternity Travel Assessment

Our assessment focuses on:

Gestational Verification: Confirming your expected due date (EDD) and current week of pregnancy.
Risk Screening: Checking for signs of pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure, or risks of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
Flight Safety Advice: Providing guidance on staying hydrated, moving during the flight, and the use of compression stockings.
Airliner Compliance: Ensuring your letter contains the specific phrasing and dates required by your chosen airline.

FAQs about Pregnancy Fit to Fly

How close to my flight should I get the letter?

Most airlines require the letter to be dated within 7 to 14 days of your departure. We recommend booking your appointment approximately 10 days before you fly.

What if I am having twins?

Airlines have stricter cut-off dates for multiple pregnancies (usually 32 weeks). Please ensure you check your airline’s specific policy before booking.

Can you provide a letter for the return flight?

Yes. We can include your return travel dates on the letter, provided your return journey still falls within the airline’s safe travel window.

What is the "cut-off" point for flying while pregnant?

Most airlines will not allow travel after 36 weeks for a single pregnancy or 32 weeks for multiples. Every airline is different, so checking your specific carrier is essential.

What does the doctor check during the assessment?

The doctor will check your blood pressure, heart rate, and review your maternity notes to ensure there are no complications like pre-eclampsia or risk of premature labor.

Do I need to bring my "Green Book" (Maternity Notes)?

Yes. The doctor cannot sign a Fit to Fly form without seeing your official antenatal records to verify your due date and your pregnancy history.

Can you sign the specific airline's own form?

Yes. Many airlines (like Ryanair or Emirates) have their own specific templates. Bring the form to your appointment, and our doctor will complete it on the spot.
