Fit To Fly

During the coronavirus pandemic, many airlines and international destinations have made fit to fly certificates with a negative COVID-19 PCR swab mandatory before travel.

This can be a stressful addition to your travel plans so you need a clinic that will guarantee its turnaround times and deliver for you.

We have helped thousands of people get to their holiday and business travel destinations without a hitch.

Why use us?

• We are named as official providers by the UK government
• Guaranteed turnaround time – next day by 8 pm with our standard service or by 8 am with our premium service
• Experienced administration team for results processing and information
• Preferred provider for several airlines
• Accredited clinic with 22 years’ experience
• Sample taken by a nurse, not self-administered
• Extensive safety measures including steward to enforce social distancing
• Care Quality Commission registration

When should I be tested for COVID?

Different destinations require your test within different times so you must check with your airline or relevant government website.  It is your responsibility to advise us of your destination’s regulations and book your test at the right time for your travel.

We cannot advise you on regulations by destination and do not take responsibility for the chosen timing of your test. Our nurses and healthcare assistants are here to support you to have your test safely but are not aware of destination regulations and cannot advise you. You are entirely responsible for choosing the right time for your COVID-19 test. The clinic takes no responsibility if you test too early for travel or if you change your travel plans.

What is the process?

• Book your appointment online by selecting “A1: coronavirus swab test at clinic” or call us to make an appointment if you need further advice
• Arrive at the clinic at the time of your appointment. Please note the wearing of masks is mandatory.
• You will be met by our steward.
• Your clinician will collect you at the time of your appointment and conduct your COVID swab. They will also verify your details to ensure they correspond with your passport.
• The swab is sent to our local laboratory who will issue a PDF certificate that is emailed to you.
• We can also provide a supplementary clinic letter at no additional cost where this is needed. This will also be sent as a PDF.
• You enter your date of birth to log in to your patient platform to download your documents.

It’s that easy!

What is the cost?
