Flying with medical stuff
« on: March 23, 2014, 06:41:04 AM »
I am asking on behalf of someone else does anyone know please is it ok to take through security a nebuliser that will possibly be  needed for the flight and also morphine without having a letter from a doctor if it has the patients name on as in when you have prescription medication? The flight is with Thomas Cook and the person has never flown before Thomas Cook have said several times they will get back to her regarding several issues that she has wanted to check out and they never have!!
Thanks for any replies  :)

Don't know if this is of any assistance. It has a drop down menu of frequently asked questions. I would imagine the person might need a "fitness to fly" letter from their GP too.
