If you are more than 28 weeks pregnant then you will usually be required to provide a fit-to-fly certificate for pregnancy by most airlines.

It is also important to remember that this type of letter will only cover travel for up to 36 weeks pregnant for single pregnancy, and 32 weeks for multiple pregnancy.

Flying while pregnant with any known health issues or complications could put both you and your pregnancy at risk. If you have previously been advised not to fly for any reason, or if your pregnancy is deemed more complicated and high risk, we will be unable to provide you with a letter.

Our priority is always to keep you and your baby safe. Therefore, our doctors will advise against travel if you have any of the following:

• Your BMI is 30 or above at the start of your pregnancy – because there is increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT or blood clots) while flying.
• You are experiencing a more complicated pregnancy with underlying health conditions or risk factors
• Gestational Diabetes
• Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• High blood pressure
• Miscarriage after 18 weeks’ gestation,
• Heart or lung condition
• Severe anaemia
• Sickle cell disease
• Epilepsy
• Pre-eclampsia
• Low-lying placenta
• Low Papp-A

After purchase, you will receive a unique certificate booking reference number, which will allow you to upload your medical evidence via a simple form.

To allow us to assess your condition and issue a medical certificate, we will require the following information:

• A photo of your passport
• Your gestation at the time of both departure and return
• Your estimated delivery date
• Any health or pregnancy-related issues
• A copy of your recent maternity notes
• Details of your regular NHS GP (if you have one)

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a pregnancy fit-to-fly certificate without verifiable evidence that you are receiving regular antenatal care.

All patients in the UK are provided with access to their maternity notes, which are usually handwritten – or patients may have access to an app that contains the same information.

Once your medical evidence has been checked your certificate will be authorised and signed by one of our selected Doctors.

All our doctors are UK GPs registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) and the FCDO (Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office).

Zoomdoc Health is an authorised medical provider regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Our contact details will be shown on your certificate with a QR code enabling a verification check of your certificate.

This Pregnancy Fit-to-Fly Certificate is valid for both your outbound and return journeys.

To ensure airline acceptance, please obtain the certificate within one week of your expected outbound travel date.

Our doctors thoroughly review your medical evidence and may call you if they have any questions.

If for any reason, we are unable to validate your evidence or are unable to supply you with you a certificate you will be notified and given a full refund.
