Have pulled this quote from another thread on forum to avoid going too far

At no time was I asked for a doctors letter though so I'm glad I didn't bother paying the requested £20 to get one after reading the new EEC regulations which states that you should not be expected to provide one unless the airline are offering some kind of seat reduction and f raud is suspected.

I'm very interested in this as my googling skills haven't been able to find the original source

Are you saying that, so long as I'm not getting a discounted fare (I wish) that an airline cannot demand a F to F certificate any more ??? Or have I got it muddled???????. Have thought it potentially a bit discriminatory effectively increasing the cost of a holiday for a disabled pax by "demanding" a fit to fly letter each time they travel. (I would pay enough extra on the travel insurance as it is) . Nice little money earner for GP's at this time of year I should think!!

Grateful if someone more practiced at this could confirm the situation - am considering (not sure I'm brave enough) my first overseas trip since my accident but seem to find sufficient barriers not of my own making to suggest that a long weekend in Brighton may be a better option anyway.

Thanks
