Good morning all,

Was hoping if anyone can assist me please.

I had my AV replacement done 11 months ago and feeling fine and my condition is well controlled by medication and have travel insurance in place.

I am planning to take a short vacation abroad. Do I need a fit note from my GP to travel by an aeroplane.

Regards

Obviously check with your doctor before committing.

I’d suggest reading the fine print of your insurance or calling them to check. Also, have you got your GHIC card? (From the gov website)

Thank you

Dear You

I found it best to ask the insurance company exactly what they want to fully insure you.

Don't assume you have given them all they need.

Get it in writing/Email and for fill all their requirements.

Most of all enjoy your holiday knowing you are fully covered.

Take care
