Flying and need to clear bag inhaler

I have recently been on holiday abroad. I thought I had all my medication organised. I have all my meds in a clear plastic wash bag I always put in separate clear plastic bags liquid. Which has always been okay. But this time I had to put all my inhalers in clear plastic bags too including those I use in a separate little handbag.this was a pain, they change the rules every time.

Anyway for those traveling by plane pre pack your inhalers in clear plastic bags before you go.

Thanks every airline has it's own level of awkwardness!

Yes, they started that two years ago. I was on quite high levels then and was away for three weeks so I had something like 6-7 inhalers to cover the whole period. Suddenly, standing there in front of the security guard I had to get them all into bags. As it had just changed he realised I could not have known, and he helped me. It filled two bags, and briefly one went to the wrong place. I #ort of panicked. But all was well in the end.
