Fitness to Fly in Pregnancy Letter
If you are over 28 weeks pregnant, your airline may ask you to get a letter from your doctor stating when your baby is due.
They will ask you to confirm that you are:
- in good health
- having a straightforward pregnancy
- not at any increased risk of complications
Some airlines have their own form that will need to be completed at any stage of pregnancy. You must check the particular requirements on your airline’s website and contact your airline if you are unsure.
The doctors at Horfield Health Centre are no longer completing fitness to fly in pregnancy forms. GPs are not involved in routine antenatal care in pregnancy and no longer have any access to the midwife clinical notes. Your midwife may be able to help you with the completion of these forms.
