Can I fly if I've recently had an operation?
If you've had an operation within the 14 days before you're due to travel, you'll need to let your doctor or surgeon know about your travel plans. They'll then tell you whether you need a fitness to fly letter, and will issue one to you if needed.
If you've had major surgery within a few months before your holiday - operations involving your heart or lungs, for example - you'll need to get a fitness to fly letter.
