Hey mumble,

i have type two brittle asthma and use both nebs and oxygen! the neb side is the easy bit, all u need is a letter from your doctor say that u use a neb, what u use in it and your condition. carry all the nebules in there boxes with the script label on them. Also make sure you have all of the rest of your medication on you, enough to last about 3 -4 days, just in case your case gets lost and then u are left with out it! insure u have sufficent meds for your trip pluse a bit extra. and most importantly ENJOY!!

My neb cd have its own airmiles account!

Hi I have flown all over the place with a nebuliser - for years! I've never had a problem with it or with any of the wires or nebules that go with it, and I've never needed a letter from the GP either. (I used to travel all over Europe for my work), it also came with me to New York and Toronto on holiday and no problems whatsoever.

Hope your neb has a good time in Poland (and you too!)

PS don't think you need an additional allowance - they will just ignore the fact that you are carrying the neb with you.
