Air Travel with meds

Hello everyone,I am booking a flight and I am planning on keeping my meds with an icepack in my carry on. My flight is 6 hours with a layover. Maybe I canget ice at my layover airport.How do you all travel with your shots? I am going to be flying the dayafter I take my shot. Will I feel ok? I am sure no one can reallytruly answer this. But I am anxious because I have not startedtreatment yet and will be flying next month. Worst case senario I feellike crap and just sit in the airport and wait it out. What more canone do?I talked to my dr today and he is getting my meds ready to ship to myhouse. So I will probably be getting them overnight in a couple ofdays. So I will start treatment either this Friday or next Friday.Wish me luck.

I've traveled with my meds, the only thing you need to do is to keep your meds WITH you,, in your carry on,, and make sure your meds are labeled with your name and doc.. but do NOT check it and have it go with the regular luggage,, JackieSubject: Air Travel with medsTo: Hepatitis_C_Central Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 12:30 PM

Hello everyone,

I am booking a flight and I am planning on keeping my meds with an ice

pack in my carry on. My flight is 6 hours with a layover. Maybe I can

get ice at my layover airport.

How do you all travel with your shots? I am going to be flying the day

after I take my shot. Will I feel ok? I am sure no one can really

truly answer this. But I am anxious because I have not started

treatment yet and will be flying next month. Worst case senario I feel

like crap and just sit in the airport and wait it out. What more can

one do?

I talked to my dr today and he is getting my meds ready to ship to my

house. So I will probably be getting them overnight in a couple of

days. So I will start treatment either this Friday or next Friday.

Wish me luck.

Hey

My concern would be the needles. If they are worried about harmless

nail clippers I can only guess what they will say about something

with a long point that liquid can be injected with.A phone call to

airport or check there web site may be a good idea. They may be able

to keep on cockpit for you?????

Do you need to bring a letter from your doctor? I contacted Air

Canada, and the wouldn't guarantee that they would keep my meds

refrigerated, and security will not let me pass with an ice pack or

even a bottle of cold water. :/

Travelling to Vegas (6 hour flight with a stopover) next month,

haven't contacted an another airline just yet....

Can you do an overnight UPS ice pack to your destination ? I get my kitty's insulin that way. I can't remember the name of the other carrier--Brain fog is wonderful. Then you won't have to fight with the airlines. You'd have to have someone sign on the other end. says she only lives 10 minutes away. It may be an option. Or check with your hotel. I've not done tx so I don't know if it has to be ice packed, but it appears from the posts that it does. We may be sending lots of stuff to meet us at our destination with all the airline restrictions. By the way, I DO NOT work for UPS. I just can't remember the names of the other overnight carriers at this time. I am sure diabetics have the same problem. Good luck !!!

Now, I remember; it's Fed Ex. If the doctors ship meds, so can you. Just save the ice pack they use to send yours.

I’d be worried that they could lose

the shipment……then you’re screwed.

I can’t believe that the airlines

don’t make accommodations for people with this type of situation.

One of the executives here travels every month with his insulin... As soon as he gets out of his meeting I will ask him what he does and what is required. StephDebbie wrote: I love this group.

It was weird because my doctor told me he has a patient that is always

travelling for work and has never encountered a problem.

Maybe the person at Air Canada was having a bad day when I called.

ok, he said that he carries it in his carry-on and declares it along with the cold pack. You need to call the airlines and tell them what you have and how you are going to carry it. A small insulated lunch bag should be good. You do not want them to take control of it, you need to keep it with you. The cold pack should keep it fine. Remember it cannot be more that 3 oz on medication. That is a lot! (Are you going to do 1 shot per week or more?). You can also go online and see that the meds are permitted according to TAS. I hope this helps. PS I also have another co-worker who took her injectable insulin to Vegas on the plane.. Steph Ruggio wrote: One of the executives here travels every month with his insulin...
