What is a Pregnancy Fit to Fly Letter?
A pregnancy fit to fly letter, also known as a pregnancy travel certificate, is an official medical document issued by a doctor that confirms your stage of pregnancy, expected due date, and that you are medically fit to fly. Most airlines require this certificate for pregnant passengers from 28 weeks onwards.
The letter must be issued by a registered medical practitioner and include specific information required by airlines: confirmation of single or multiple pregnancy, expected due date, confirmation of no complications, and the doctor's assessment that you are fit to travel by air. Each letter includes the doctor's GMC registration number and signature.
Airlines have different policies on when they require fit to fly certificates - typically from 28 weeks for international flights and 36 weeks for domestic flights. Some airlines may refuse boarding without this documentation, so it's essential to obtain your letter before travelling.

Yes. Our pregnancy fit to fly certificates are issued by GMC-registered doctors and meet all airline requirements for medical clearance to fly during pregnancy. The certificates are accepted by all major UK and international airlines including British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, Virgin Atlantic, and more.
When do I need a fit to fly certificate?
Most airlines require a fit to fly certificate from 28 weeks of pregnancy for international flights, and from 36 weeks for domestic flights. Some airlines have stricter policies for multiple pregnancies. The certificate typically needs to be dated within 7 days of your travel date. Check your airline's specific policy before booking.

Delivery speed is selected at checkout. Standard service delivers your certificate within 1 working day. If you need it urgently, our priority service delivers in as little as 30 minutes. Once approved by one of our GMC-registered doctors, your certificate is sent directly to your email as a PDF.
What information do I need to provide?
You will need to provide your personal details, current stage of pregnancy (in weeks), expected due date, confirmation of single or multiple pregnancy, and details of any pregnancy complications. You do not need to provide medical records or scans.
Can I get a certificate if I have pregnancy complications?
This depends on the nature and severity of complications. Our doctors will assess your individual case based on the information provided. If there are significant complications that make air travel inadvisable, the doctor may be unable to issue a fit to fly certificate for safety reasons.
How long is the certificate valid for?
Most airlines require the fit to fly certificate to be dated within 7 days of your outbound flight. The certificate itself confirms your fitness to fly at the time of issue. If you have a return flight more than 7 days later, you may need a second certificate for the return journey.
Do I need to see my midwife or GP first?
No. FastDoc is designed for situations where getting a GP or midwife appointment before travel is not possible or practical. Our GMC-registered doctors assess your pregnancy details remotely and issue the certificate - no in-person consultation needed.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your pregnancy details and medical information are encrypted, securely stored, and only accessed by the doctor reviewing your case. We are fully GDPR compliant and never share your information with third parties.
