IV Infusion Bags In Carry-On - UPDATE Last Post

[shoes99]

We are flying Jet Blue next month. My sister uses IV infusion bags and they must be refrigerated. She has a small cooler that she needs to take as carry-on. She will have a prescription label on each bag. I have already ordered a medical refrigerator at Pop. Has anyone flown yet under the new restrictions with their or their child's nutrition bags. I will contact Jet Blue as we get closer to our flights.

We leave for WDW this Monday. My DSis will have her feeding tube, infusion bags (3) in her carry-on. Her port is in her arm. I told her just to keep all her medical suppies in one bag and her personal stuff in a separate bag. I think she can now bring the ice packs thru security, if not we will discard and get ice at the airport. She is so excited, she has not been to WDW in 11 years, she was so sick on her last trip, and this has been a long long road for her. She had adapted nicely to the 12 hr infusions and her Dr. has cut her schedule from 7 days a week to 5. Now we can go to MNSSHP this Thursday and not worry that she has to HOOK UP. I am so happy that my sister is feeling up to travelling to WDW with her Disney Crazy Sister.

We travelled out of Newark NJ on Monday 10/9. Sis was so scared that the screeners were going to contaminate her IV bags and equipment. She declared them before going thru xray, but the screener insisted on going thru everything, even the filled syringes and touching everything with those rubber gloves. She never even changed her gloves.
No problem at Orlando on the way back. She declared everything with the screener and it went thru xray without being handled. We had a good trip. We got a dorm size refrigerator for medical purposes at Pop for no charge. She just bought two large infusion bags with her and they fit.
We had a good trip.
