It's essential to ensure that your travel destination is suitable and accessible for your asthma condition. Before embarking on your trip, it's recommended that you visit your GP or Asthma Nurse for an asthma health check, regardless of the severity of your condition. This is especially crucial when flying, as high altitudes can lead to reduced oxygen levels that may affect your breathing.
During the health check, your healthcare provider will conduct a "Fitness to Fly Test," also known as a "Hypoxic Challenge Assessment," to determine if you're fit enough to travel. If you're deemed fit to fly, you'll receive a certificate, which some airlines may require before allowing you to board. Therefore, it's essential for asthmatic individuals to obtain a "Fitness to Fly Test" certificate to avoid any travel disruptions
