I have recently returned from a holiday in the USA and used my inhalers on the plane. I found I needed my blue inhaler a bit more than normal

I always take my blue puffer on planes - along with the Boots 1st Defence spray to help prevent catching any bugs going round (and round and round)!

I would think it's pretty essentialon a long flight. P

Yes you can in your hand luggage..Good idea to keep them on top..Have a great holiday Regards Laura

Yes, I have taken mine seratide, salbutamol and spiriva in my hand luggage from the U.K. To Kenya and to Rhodes. Like what has been said earlier put them on the top so they are easy to reach.

Best regards

PS I keep my blue inhaler/reliever in my pocket close to hand, I have asthma so I wouldn't be leaving it in the overhead locker.

The Blue inhaler can be used with no problem what can happen is the plane is at altitude so you may find it harder to breath due to less pressure.

In my case I have been told I have to have a test to see if I can fly because I could get hypoxia. I have fibrosis and RLD and few other things to help things along and do not respond well at altitude.

Be Well

I always take all my meds in my flight bag as the Airline lost one of my suitcases once, I dread to think what would happen if meds had been in that.

I carry my inhalers and drugs in my hand luggage along with a current prescription that proves you need the drugs on board as some inhalers are liquid. Hope these replies help you
