What is a pregnancy Fit to fly letter and why do you need one?

A Pregnancy Fit to Fly letter is an official medical document issued by a doctor, confirming that it is safe for you to travel by air during pregnancy. Airlines often have specific requirements for pregnant travelers, especially if you are in the later stages of your pregnancy. This letter serves as proof of good health, ensuring that you meet the airline’s safety guidelines and can fly without complications.

Why Do Airlines Require a Fit to Fly Letter During Pregnancy?

Airlines have strict rules about flying while pregnant, especially during the later stages, to ensure both your safety and the safety of your baby. Most airlines will request a fit to fly letter if you are beyond 28 weeks of pregnancy, with some carriers requiring it as early as 24 weeks. The letter confirms that you are not experiencing any complications and that your doctor has deemed it safe for you to fly.

How Long Can You Fly While Pregnant?

You can generally fly safely up to 36 weeks of pregnancy, provided that you have a fit to fly letter from your doctor. Beyond 36 weeks, most airlines will not permit you to travel, as you are closer to your due date and the risk of labor increases. Airlines may have different cutoff points, so it’s essential to check with your airline for their specific policies.

  3. Receive Your Letter: Once we’ve confirmed you’re fit to fly, we’ll provide your pregnancy fit to fly letter right away.

What Information is Included in a Pregnancy Fit to Fly Letter?

Key Points to Remember When Flying While Pregnant

  • Always check your airline’s specific policies on flying during pregnancy. Some may require a fit to fly letter starting at 28 weeks, while others may have different rules.

  • Be mindful of your health during travel. Stay hydrated, move around regularly, and avoid sitting for extended periods to reduce the risk of blood clots.

  • If you are carrying multiples (twins or more), airlines may require a fit to fly letter earlier in your pregnancy due to the higher risk of complications.
