What is a Fit-To-Fly Test?

The Fit-To-Fly test is completed in advance of travel to determine your eligibility to travel or to enter a country based on your COVID-19 infection status. The Fit-To-Fly COVID test is required by many destinations and airlines to ensure passengers are fit to travel without spreading the virus. If your Fit-To-Fly test is positive, and you are shown to be infected with COVID-19, you will be determined ‘unfit’ to fly and unable to complete your planned trip.

Do I Need a Fit-To-Fly Test?

Requirements for Fit-To-Fly testing vary depending on your travel destination, vaccination status, airline and other factors. Check entry requirements, and with your airline or travel agent to determine whether a Fit-To-Fly test is required for your trip, and whether there are specific requirements regarding the testing method (e.g PCR/LFD).

Regulations are subject to change at any time with short notice – it’s important to check the latest information regularly before you undertake any international trips.

What If My Fit-To-Fly Test is Negative?
