In the UK, maternity notes are often provided as either a handwritten booklet or in a digital format. If you’re unsure how to access them, get in touch with your midwife, who can guide you on where to find your notes.

When is it not advised to fly during pregnancy?

If you have a medical condition that increases the risks of air travel, you may be ineligible for a fit to fly letter. Our doctors may advise against air travel if you have any of the following conditions:

What happens if I am ineligible for a certificate?

It can be disappointing to hear you’re ineligible to travel if you’ve been looking forward to your trip. At Wilmer Health, your safety, and your baby’s, comes first. If we determine that you don’t qualify for a fit to fly note due to a complicated pregnancy, we’ll offer a full refund.

Otherwise, we can also provide a Not Fit to Fly Certificate. This certificate supports flight cancellations, rescheduling, refunds, or travel insurance claims.

How soon before my flight should I get a fit to fly note?

Most airlines will want a fit to fly letter signed within two weeks of your date of departure. But, it’s essential to check your airline’s policy, as their requirements may vary.

Can I get a Fit to Fly Certificate for Pregnancy from the NHS?

Many NHS GPs and midwives don’t provide pregnancy fit to fly documents. This is because of service pressures, lack of appointment availability and insurance restrictions. Additionally, wait times can often be long, typically a few weeks at the earliest.

The alternative is to get a private fit to fly certificate through an online service. At Wilmer Health, we issue globally-accepted certificates within just a matter of hours. Saving you time, money and a whole lot of stress!

Is an online fit to fly certificate valid?

Yes, an online pregnancy fit to fly letter is completely valid and accepted by airlines. An online review of the maternity notes is usually enough to issue a fit to fly certificate.

In cases where the pregnancy is not straightforward, a detailed face to face review may be needed.

Can I travel during the third trimester?

Yes. Most airlines allow travel up to 36 weeks of gestation for a single pregnancy. For a multiple pregnancy, travel up to 32 weeks of gestation is usually allowed.
