Air Doctor Discount Codes & Vouchers

Air Doctor is a booking platform for medical appointments while you are away from home. It exists to solve a specific problem: falling ill somewhere unfamiliar, with no idea who to see or whether they will speak your language.

Three ways to see a doctor

The platform lists verified doctors near your location and lets you book a clinic appointment, request a visit to your hotel or apartment, or take a video consultation. The last option is the fastest for something minor such as a stomach upset, a rash or a repeat of medication left at home. Doctors are filterable by the language they speak, which for many travellers is the single most useful feature on the service.

Where it sits alongside travel insurance

This is not insurance and does not replace it. The platform works with a number of travel insurers, and depending on your policy the consultation may be settled directly or you may pay and claim afterwards. Check which applies before booking rather than at the appointment, and keep the invoice and any written report, because a claim without documentation is difficult. Cover for a pre-existing condition depends on your own policy wording, not on the booking platform.

When not to use an app

This matters more than anything else on this page. Anything that looks like a medical emergency needs the local emergency number and an ambulance, not a booking screen. Chest pain, signs of stroke, difficulty breathing, serious bleeding, a head injury with confusion, or a child who becomes rapidly unwell all fall into that category. A booking platform is for the situations in between: unpleasant but not dangerous, and awkward to solve in a country you do not know.

Practical details worth knowing

Prescriptions written in one country are not automatically valid in another, and some medicines available freely at home are controlled elsewhere. Ask what the prescription covers and where it can be dispensed. Confirm the consultation fee before the appointment, note whether tests or medication are extra, and keep every receipt for the claim.
