Flying with liquid medication

[Alwaysbelieving]

I go on holiday in a couple of weeks and need to take all my needles and lubion as well as Tinzaparin. Although they are less than 100ml in each vial/syringe, collectively they’ll be more than 100ml. Do I just need to take my prescription or do I have to declare the meds or get in touch with the airports? I’m also taking Progynova tablets but I think these are fine. I’m flying with Jet2 but read it will be airport security that I would need to contact rather than the airline so I will do this but any advice in the mean time please? x

The airlines I traveled with requested a letter from the clinic to say I was travelling with injections and what for. I was bricking it about getting stopped and having to explain but no one even asked and you don’t have to declare them.

I went abroad twice with not one question and 3 different airlines.

Clinic wrote a 3 line letter that we printed off and took with us.

have a good holiday!

Hi,

I’ve travelled a lot with the meds. I have prescription and a letter I take with me. I’ve only ever been stopped once and it was easy I just showed them the prescription and explained what they were for and off I went. I keep them in a separate bag so they are easy to get out if needed.

Enjoy your trip 😊

I’ve travelled with the meds quite a few times - I had a letter with me from the clinic explaining what they were for, but was never asked for it it’s more common than you think, people with diabetes etc also travel with needles / syringes etc and other conditions as well…. So no need to be nervous.

I phoned airline (Tui) and asked for a note to be added to my ticket file but also took pictures of my prescription and had a letter from clinic. I packed meds in foiled lined lunch bag with a frozen gel pack from Amazon (gel not liquid to avoid breaking 100ml rule )

I’ve travelled lots with meds. I always carry my treatment plan and scripts. It’s very common and no one has ever asked me. They see it all the time. I can’t comment on other countries as I haven’t travelled beyond Ireland and Spain with meds
