The British Airways Medical Information Form (MEDIF)

British Airways may require medical clearance for passengers with certain medical conditions, reduced mobility, or special in-flight medical needs. Always check with British Airways before booking or travelling.

The British Airways Medical Information Form (MEDIF)

The Medical Information Form is for passenger requiring special assistance or medical clearance.

A MEDIF form is usually completed by the treating doctor to describe the passenger’s medical condition and any special travel needs, such as oxygen, wheelchair assistance, medical escort, or stretcher arrangements.

British Airways may review the MEDIF before confirming whether the passenger is fit to fly and whether special assistance can be provided.

Important Travel Note

The medical information form is a document that needs to be completed if a traveler requires medical assistance along the trip. It should be completed accurately by the passenger’s treating doctor. British Airways may refuse travel, delay acceptance, or request changes to travel arrangements if the medical information is incomplete, if the passenger is not considered fit to fly, or if the required special assistance cannot be arranged.

For oxygen, stretcher, wheelchair, or other medical assistance, contact British Airways or your travel agent as early as possible before departure.
