Do I need a Fit to Fly certificate to travel from the U.S. to Bangkok after April 1st, 2021?
Has any Traveler flown from The U.S. to Bangkok through Narita using the 1 April (Thai Embassy Wash DC) info for non-Thai nationals, a Fit to Fly certificate will be no longer required. However, a medical certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID-19 is not detected, using the RT-PCR method "ONLY." I am planning on traveling the 20th of April on American Airlines/Japan Airlines (MCO-ORD-NRT-BKK) using the RT-PCR test "ONLY." Appreciate any info from any traveler that has flown recently using this RT-PCR certificate only. I am reading some airlines are turning people back for not having the Fit to Fly certificate. Thank you in advance. Good Luck and Happy Travels.
Summary so far
The user is inquiring about the travel requirements for flying from the U.S. to Bangkok via Narita, particularly whether a Fit to Fly certificate is necessary, given a recent announcement from the Thai Embassy. The user intends to use an RT-PCR test result for COVID-19 as documentation. Comments suggest carrying embassy information for airline queries and considering obtaining a Fit to Fly certificate to avoid complications.

I can't advise you on that precise route, but I will make one suggestion : print out the relevant page(s) from the embassy pages to show your airline if questions arise.
