Can you change flights with a doctors note?

Can I cancel a flight with a doctor's note? No, but if you want any change fee waived, the airline would require a letter from your treating doctor as to the reason you need to change your flight/s, and the letter would have to state the actual illness, not just that you need to change your flights for medical reasons.
