Fast service!
Submitted the information for the premium fit to fly pregnancy letter service and received my letter back within the hour. Selected the premium in case I wanted to make an amendment, which I did, to include my destination, which was promptly sent back within about another 30 minutes.

Super quick and reliable service
Super quick and reliable service. Thank you so much! Gives you a real piece of mind when travelling later on in your pregnancy that you will have all the needed documentation for the airlines.
Flying with Ryanair, Jet2 or Another Airline With Its Own Form?
Some airlines require their own pregnancy fit-to-fly form rather than, or alongside, a standard medical letter. Where the doctor is able to do so following clinical review, our Premium service includes completion of your airline's required form.
Not sure what your airline needs? Tell us who you're flying with when completing the form and we'll guide you.
A Letter Prepared to Meet Airline Requirements
Every FastDoc pregnancy fit to fly letter is issued on official headed paper and includes the information airlines commonly require:
- Your full name and date of birth
- Confirmation of pregnancy stage and expected due date
- Assessment confirming single or multiple pregnancy
- Doctor's confirmation you are fit to travel by air
- Doctor's full name, signature and GMC registration number
Delivered as a professional PDF directly to your email - ready to present at check-in or email to the airline in advance. We recommend checking your specific airline's documentation policy before travel.
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 letter for pregnant passengers from 28 weeks onwards.
The letter must be issued by a registered medical practitioner and include specific information airlines commonly ask for: 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 letters - typically from 28 weeks for international flights and 36 weeks for domestic flights. Policies and documentation requirements vary by airline, so we recommend checking with your airline directly before you travel.
UK aviation guidance: the Civil Aviation Authority and NHS both note that airlines may request pregnancy documentation, generally from around 28 weeks, confirming the pregnancy is progressing normally and the expected due date.

Flying While Pregnant? Get Your Letter
You will typically need a pregnancy fit to fly letter when:
- Flying from 28 weeks pregnant (some airlines require from 28 weeks)
- Flying internationally from 28-36 weeks of pregnancy
- Flying domestically from 36 weeks onwards
- The airline specifically requests medical clearance to fly
- You have a multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets)
- You're flying close to your due date
Airline timing rules vary — some require your certificate to be issued within a set number of days before travel, others set a window either side of your return date too. Tell us your airline and travel dates when ordering so the doctor can assess this as part of your review. We recommend checking your airline's current policy before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do airlines require for a fit to fly letter?
Our pregnancy fit to fly letters are issued by GMC-registered doctors and include the information most airlines ask for, such as confirmation of your due date, single or multiple pregnancy, and fitness to travel. Some airlines, including Ryanair and Jet2, require their own specific form rather than a standard letter — our Premium service includes completing this where the doctor is able to. Airline policies vary, so we recommend checking your specific airline's requirements before you travel.
When do I need a fit to fly letter?
Most airlines require a fit to fly letter from 28 weeks of pregnancy for international flights, and from 36 weeks for domestic flights. Some airlines have stricter policies for multiple pregnancies. Timing requirements for how close to travel the letter must be dated also vary by airline — tell us your airline and travel dates when ordering so the doctor can take this into account.
How quickly will I receive my letter?
Delivery speed is selected at checkout. Standard service delivers your letter same day. If you need it urgently, our premium service prioritises your clinical review — usually issued within 30-90 minutes. Once issued by one of our GMC-registered doctors, your letter is sent directly to your email as a PDF.
What information do I need to provide?
You'll be asked for your personal details, current stage of pregnancy, expected due date, confirmation of single or multiple pregnancy, your travel dates and airline, and details of any pregnancy complications. You usually won't need to upload medical records or scans — but if the reviewing doctor needs anything further to safely assess your request, we'll contact you.
Can I get a letter 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 letter for safety reasons — in that case you'll receive a full refund.
What happens if the doctor can't issue my letter?
If, following clinical review, the doctor is unable to confirm you're fit to fly, they'll explain why and you'll receive a full refund — you won't be charged for a letter that can't be issued.
How long is the letter valid for?
How close to travel your letter needs to be dated varies by airline — some allow a wider window than others, and some also require a current letter for your return flight. The letter confirms your fitness to fly at the time of issue. Tell us your airline and travel dates when ordering so the doctor can take this into account, and check your airline's current policy before booking.
Do I need to see my midwife or GP first?
No - our GMC-registered doctors carry out a genuine, independent clinical review remotely, based on the pregnancy details you provide. This is a real medical assessment, not just a formality. If anything in your assessment means a face-to-face examination is needed, or the doctor cannot safely confirm you are fit to fly, they will let you know rather than issue a letter.
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.
