A fit to fly certificate confirming your stage of pregnancy and fitness to travel, in the format your airline requires.
Fit to fly and travel
The doctor confirms how many weeks pregnant you are, checks that your pregnancy is straightforward, and issues a certificate stating that you are fit to fly. Where you are expecting twins or more, the doctor notes that, as airline limits differ.
Most airlines ask for a certificate from 28 weeks, and many will not carry you after 36 weeks, or 32 weeks for twins or more, so check your airline's cut-off and travel before it. Bring the airline's own form if they have one.
