What is the validity period of a fit to fly certificate for flights?
Is the fit to fly certificate valid from time of issue until check in or flight departure, thanks
Answer summary
The fit to fly certificate is generally valid up until the flight departure time, with many sources indicating a typical requirement for it to be issued within 72 hours before departure. However, there may not be an explicit time limit, which could vary by airline or specific travel regulations.
