Fit to fly letter - Ryanair

[FBT]

Hi
I hope someone can help me.
I am flying with Ryanair this week and I will be 31 weeks. I understand that I need to provide a fit to fly letter after 28 weeks. As my bump is big, everyone can definitely see that I am pregnant. Unfortunately, my GP and Midwife are not able to provide me any fit to fly letter. They say that this is the instruction they have from their legal department and they will not give me one.
So I will need to request this privately. I checked google and I found some options. However, they all use their own template letter instead the ryanair expectant mother medical certificate form.
Does anyone know if this would make a difference at all? Does Ryanair only accept their own form?

Thanks

Why won't your gp or midwife provide one?

Hi @FBT my GP also wouldn’t issue one either and the midwife just wrote a letter to confirm an antenatal check had been completed on X date, I’m due X and currently a low risk pregnancy. They can’t say ‘fit to fly’ due to legal / insurance reasons. Anyway, Ryan Air never asked to see anything but the advice I got from Ryan Air was to get a fit to fly and if not speak to travel insurance!

@myheartmyhead They both said due to legal / insurance reasons they were unable to complete it. :(

Hi @Frankie789 thanks for your comment. I think I will do that and just use this private doctor own template letter. I will ask to add at least these information you have mentioned. Hopefully, that will be enough. I would guess Ryanair should accept that as there is almost the same information apart from saying “fit to fly”. It does not make sense for them to reject just because it is not the exactly form from Ryanair.

I think it's common for gps not to issue or if they do charge for them

I'd definitely go private
