I forogt to mention also, when you contact the airlines regarding the meds and needles, also ask them what their policy is for you to be able to carry something on board to keep your insulin cool - whether you can carry a small cooler with an ice pack in it and if so, what size restrictions for the ice pack there may be (I'm thinking because of the gel/liquid inside of them kind of like they restirct the size of things such as shampoo, conditioner, hand santizer, etc.)

I would think there shouldn't be any troubles with the medications, so long as you DO keep them in the original prescription bottles and perhaps ask your doctor to write a note that you can carry with you confirming what medications you are on.

The only issue I could see that MAY possibly be would be with your needles - simply because they may be seen as a possible "weapon".

I agree with what Tuck said - definitely contact your ariline carrier (or carriers if you are flying on mulitiple carriers) and ask what their policy is regarding both oral medication and injectible meds.  REalistically, I don't believe they can legally keep you from having your meds and needles available during flight, but they may be able to limit the amount you carry on your person (needles), so you may have to carry onboard just what you need for during flight time (with maybe a couple of extra in case of emergency) and keep the rest packed in your checkege baggage.

Best of luck and happy travels!

I have flown about every where and never one time did they say a word to me, and was takeing what you are at the time. I kept them in a large purse in the bottles from the pharm, the issue is can you get them refilled out of country?

I could contact the airlines well ahead of your departure date and ask about their policy. Also talk to your Physician as he/she may have some information on the procedures when flying to other countries.

I know ppl travel with pain medications everyday. It will simple be a matter of meeting the requirements of the airlines.

Best of Luck and Enjoy your travels.

Peace,
