About this medical letter
Pregnancy fit-to-fly certificate
If you’re pregnant and planning to travel by air or sea, you may require a fit-to-fly certificate confirming that both you and your baby are safe to travel.
Our doctors can provide you with a same-day medical certificate that will confirm your due date, and that you are not at risk of complications. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.
What will I receive?
You will receive a verifiable digital PDF letter signed by a medical professional and sent directly to your mobile, containing the following details:
- Your name, date of birth and passport number.
- Confirmation of a singleton or multiple pregnancy.
- Your gestation at the time of departure and return, and estimated delivery date.
- Confirmation that your pregnancy is progressing normally, that you are in good health and fit to fly.
- Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.
- Contact details of ZoomDoc Health with a QR code enabling a verification check.
Important – flying while pregnant
To allow us to assess your condition and issue a medical certificate, we will require the following information:
- Less than 36 weeks’ gestation (singleton pregnancy)
- Less than 32 weeks’ gestation (multiple pregnancy)
However, 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
Please note:ZoomDoc Health can complete additional airline or cruise forms, in addition to this fit-to-fly certificate for a £25 fee.

Unbelievably good service
Unbelievably good service. We had to get a fit to fly note for pregnancy very quickly and after sending over all my partner's pregnancy notes (in Polish!) and doing a questionnaire over the phone it was quickly received hassle free. Next level customer service.

Cruise Note
In summary, ZoomDoc saved my butt. My GP refused to write a fit to fly/cruise note for me as they said "I am not indemnified to do it" which was incredibly frustrating as every cruise line requires a pregnancy note so other GPs are clearly writing the notes for women. ZoomDoc had a quick turnaround time and switched the fit-to-fly to fit-to-cruise which was all I needed. No hassle, just great service. THANK YOU x

Quick and easy
I needed a fit to fly certificate for my pregnancy which my local GP wouldn't provide. After I uploaded all my documents/medical history etc. it only took a couple of hours for them to give me the all clear and provide a certificate, even sending an email with advice when on the flight. Would definitely recommend and use again.
