travel restrictions

[36Hele]

I am due to travel to Canada from the U.K. in October. I SI and so will need to take B12 , syringes and needles with me .

Can I put these in the hold luggage .Will there be any restrictions and is it likely the syringes etc will be confiscated at customs ? Any advice welcome .

Yes , best in hold luggage. I’ve travelled by air many times, and never had a problem. . Best wishes.

I take mine in cabin luggage, take a prescription with you just in case and you’ll be fine.

Hold luggage goes missing far too often and I always travel with personal medication in the cabin just in case.

Maybe check with your airline's website - most ask that medical supplies are carried in your hand luggage. I flew with BA recently, taking ampoules, needles and syringes, and had no problem at Heathrow or my destination. I'm sure you'll be fine, just think how many people with diabetes must fly every day. Have a great trip!

I live in Spain and flew to London and back in May. Carried my supplies in my hand luggage and wasn't questioned.

I live in BC, Canada. I don't need a prescription here to buy needles and injectable cyanocobalamin. I would guess it is the same in the rest of Canada? It is probably better though to bring what you are accustomed to taking.
