Flying down south.. UK internal... Is there any protocol re taking my syringes / needles/ampoules???

[Frances55]

Anyone know if there's a problem with taking my meds on a BA flight... Hand luggage only.. ☺

Hi Frances55. Oh dear, I did know the answer to this, but I've forgotten what it is 😖🙄.

If you don't get any other responses, try checking on the BA website...should be some guidance there (don't have time to look for,you right now).

Oops...sorry.

👍

Hey no worries ☺... I do that constantly... Part and package of PA 😔... I'll give them a ring if no one comes back to me ☺... All the best ☺

👍 Have a good whatever it is you're flying for 😉

Aww thanks Eaoz ☺... Haven't had a minute to get on the computer... No flying down to London for another 3 weeks.. I've got a appointment next week with the doctor so I'll get a note off him then.. Many thanks again ☺........

There was a sign when I flew in to London from Berlin with my newly purchased sharps saying "NO SYRINGES AND NEEDLES" but I ignored it and no one said a word.

[Frances55]

Thanks for that Pingo... I'm going to see my doctor next week anyway so I'll just get a note from him... That way I'm covered if anyone asks... ☺ all the best ☺.....

Sounds as if it will be ok then.

Presumably it would be a problem for someone who was self injecting without their doctor's consent as they would not be able to get a prescription/note?

So long as not crossing any customs barriers, and you have sufficient advance notice, could you not simply post the necessary items ahead of time and avoid any possibility of problems?

(Yes - it does depend on having a suitable receiving address at the far end!)

Thanks guys/gals..... ☺.... Yeah already put posting in place incase of any hiccups... I'm flying from Glasgow to London so no customs ☺... Not going for 3 weeks yet.. And I'm seeing my doctor on Thursday so plenty of time to get it sorted... ☺... Thanks so much for your help.. Much appreciated ☺.....
