  • A doctor every time
  • Today, every day.

What does the appointment involve?

The doctor assesses whether it is safe for you to fly given your current health and completes a certificate, or the airline's own Medical Information Form where one is required. The assessment covers the specific reason for the certificate, whether that is recent surgery, a heart or chest condition, a recent illness, or a fracture in a cast.

Is there anything else I should know?

Most airlines want a certificate dated within 7 to 14 days of travel, so time your appointment accordingly, and bring the airline's own form if they have asked for one. If your reason is pregnancy or recent surgery, we have dedicated pages for those.
