Traveling/Flying question

Post by LaurieRenz » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:41 am

In April I'll be flying for the 1st time with my machine. I've read up a lot here and feel like I know what I need to do and I don't expect any problems but I have one small question. I HAVE to take my Lansinoh... I cannot use my nasal pillows without it or I get contact sores. Can I just put it in my bag with my machine or do I need to check it? I know that I can purchase it where I'm going, but we don't even land until 9 pm and by the time we get our luggage and pick up our rental car, I'm so not going to want to stop anywhere....

Pick up a small pill container and put some in that and put it in your carry on. Put the tube in your checkin baggage in a freezer zip lock baggy.

Hi, you can fly with it. If it is larger than 3.2oz, it has to have an R/X on it. Please check the TSA website for more info.
