ORIGINAL POSTERI’m confused with the “Fit to Fly health certificate” and “Covid-19 RT-PCR test”.
They’re two different things right?
So I have to get two different tests to satisfy both?
Also anyone got any recommendations to get Fit to Fly Cert and Covid PCR tests? Im from London

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Fit to Fly health certificate and the Covid-19 RT-PCR test are two distinct requirements for travelers. The Fit to Fly certificate is an assessment by a doctor confirming that a traveler is healthy enough to fly, while the RT-PCR test is a laboratory test to check for Covid-19. Travelers typically need to obtain both a Fit to Fly certificate and a RT-PCR test to comply with travel regulations. Recommended places in London for these services include Medicspot for both certificates and tests, and Assured Screening for RT-PCR testing, with online consultations available for the Fit to Fly certificate.

Use Dr. Donna Robinson. I believe it's about 10 British Pounds. Her certificates are approved.

they are indeed 2 separate things. i haven't flown into Thailand but i've been to work sites that require 'em.
the fit to fly thingy is basically just a note from your docto saying you've got no symptoms.

Yes. They are 2 distinct items. Fit to fly can be done over the phone!

Fit to Fly isn't a test. A doctor will ask you some questions, look you over and decide if you're healthy enough to fly. RT-PCR is the test.
