Airlines can ask for a fit to fly certificate when you have been unwell, had surgery, broken a bone, or are in the later weeks of pregnancy. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera, a doctor licensed in Spain (No. 484814280), assesses your situation by secure video call and, when the assessment supports it, sends a signed fit to fly letter in English the same day. This is for travellers who are physically in Spain and need a medical letter for a non-emergency situation. If you are seriously unwell, call 112 and do not fly.

After a chest infection, gastroenteritis, an ear or sinus problem or any illness that made you miss a flight, the doctor checks that you are well enough to travel and that pressure changes will not harm you. You receive a letter confirming fitness to fly when the assessment supports it.
Most airlines ask for a doctor's letter from 28 weeks and stop carrying passengers at 36 weeks (32 for twins). The letter states your due date, that the pregnancy is uncomplicated and that you are fit to fly, which you can show at check-in. Bring your maternity notes to the call.
A plaster cast fitted less than 48 hours before a flight usually has to be split, and airlines have minimum waiting times after operations, a collapsed lung or a blood clot. The doctor reviews your discharge notes and timing and confirms whether you meet the usual criteria before issuing a letter.
A letter is issued only when a genuine video assessment supports it. Conditions that need an in-person examination, oxygen or a stretcher, or the airline's own MEDIF medical form, are explained clearly and you are told exactly what to arrange instead, so you are not left with a document the airline will refuse.
Getting medical care in Spain as a tourist, digital nomad or expat can be hard. Language gaps at the public urgencias, new pharmacy rules and clinic sign-up forms can all slow you down when you need care soon.
Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera offers caring, bilingual GP care by secure HD video. You can join from your phone or laptop, wherever you are in Spain. There is no need to travel to a clinic.
Prescriptions are issued only where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation. Dispensing depends on local rules, medicine availability and pharmacy requirements; acceptance of an electronic code in another country is not guaranteed.
You receive a medical report and an itemized invoice to submit to your insurer. Check your policy before booking: reimbursement is decided by your insurer and is not guaranteed.
Every consultation follows evidence-based clinical protocols. Before any treatment advice, the doctor checks your medical history, the medicines you take and any reason a treatment may not suit you.
