I put the ventolin liquid in my suitcase..airlines have allowed me extra baggage allowance to carry the machine on board. If you may have to use the ventolin on board clear it with the airline. I think that the vials are small enough to carry a couple in the plastic bag you put cosmetics etc in.

My grandaughter is type 1 and has to take insulin. She declares it and has special security 'patting down'. Always v friendly .

Yes that's always a risk. Maybe put some in your suitcase and some in someone else's.

I took 3 wks worth plus saline to US and luckily suitcase got there with me. 🤞

Hi I flew twice with my liquid meds in my hand luggage. I did get a letter from my GP which cost me £20 but didn’t really need it. As for the nebuliser different airlines have different policies. Ryanair gave me a letter and extra hand luggage to allow me to take through with my hand luggage. jet2 just made a note on my booking and checked with me all the way through that everything was okay. No one batted an eyelid going through security they looked at the meds and just passed them through. I would take a copy of your prescription though and check out what the airline has to say. Like you I do t want to be parted from my meds in case they don’t arrive at the same place I do. I believe some airports are bringing in different scanners so that liquids in luggage will no longer be a problem. Have a great holiday.
