It is important that you discuss with your GP or healthcare professional before booking a holiday.
They can give you advice and information, as well as discussing any concerns you have about your child’s asthma.
If your child’s asthma is difficult to control they may need an assessment to check if they are fit to fly. There are a variety of ways in which a health care professional may assess whether they are “fit to fly”
The airline may have their own medical paperwork which needs to be completed. This may involve some tests.
Not all airlines use the same paperwork or tests so it is important that you check this with them. Do this before you make a booking so that you can be sure that your child will be allowed to fly.
Remember there are many places within the UK and Europe that you can visit without having to fly.
