Flying

Hey!

I'm supposed to be flying to Ireland at the end of the month. It's a really short flight but do I need to get a letter from my doctor for my neb and meds? (i'm not checking in a bag so everything will need to be in hand luggage bag)

Yes! You will need a doctors letter!

An Irishman offers the answer!

Hi Em!

I am Irish living in England and no you do not need a letterunless the containers exceed 100mls . Your meds need to be put in the clear plastic bag used for toiletries etc... SEE GOV REGS BELOW:

MEDICINES &BABY FOOD:

Passengers are allowed to take essential medicines sufficient for the trip. Amounts under 100mls should be placed in a re-sealable transparent plastic bag, as with other liquids. If your medication pack exceeds 100mls, it should be presented at security for x-ray inspection. There is no limit on the amount, however you may be asked to verify the liquid by tasting it, or to provide verification for the product, such as a doctor's letter.

CABIN BAGGAGE - size restrictions and additional items allowed

Each passenger is now restricted to carrying only one item through the airport search point, with a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. Be aware that this is the maximum size allowed and that some airlines may have their own size restrictions - you can contact the airline you are travelling with for further information. Please also note that you must be able to fit your re-sealable bag into your cabin baggage.

Thia is a fairly sizeable bag I take a wheely case on board everytime I go across!

I was worried earlier this year flying from Leeds to Dublin as I had methadone for pain control. My chemist put them into 75ml bottles. They never even looked at the methadone but took my 125ml bottle of Joop cologne. I was gutted!

I hope this helps, have a wonderful time in God's own country, you'll love it!

tkae one just in case. I find sometimes they don't want to see it sometimes they do, sometimes they ahve to look at the neb and all hte meds, sometimes they do'nt - but if you have the letter at least you konw it's there if they ask for it
