Need help for flight tomorrow morning

[naynay80]

DS is sick - I have to take his medicine with us on the plan - and it has to stay cold - I have a gel ice pack - can I take this on the plane? I can NOT check this medicine since he has to take it 3 times a day - I have to have it in a little medicine cooler - plus I have to take advil (liquid) - the little cooler will NOT fit in a small zip lock bag - WHAT DO I DO????

Take your gel pack with you and if they take it then you can get ice from a vendor or rest. after the check point. They will also give you ice on the plane. As long as your Advil is 3.7oz or under you will be fine.

Ice from a vendor/restaurant is a great idea!!!.

Take some extra zip-top bags with you to make your own ice packs, as well as to put the medication in to keep it from being exposed to the moisture from the outsides of the ice bags when they "sweat."

I thought the allowable amount of liquids was a 3.4 ounce container, not 3.7. 3.4 ounces is equal to 100 ml, a common size of European travel size containers.

This may be okay if it is for a prescription medication. According to the TSA website:

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/specialneeds/index.shtm

We are continuing to permit prescription liquid medications and other liquids needed by persons with disabilities and medical conditions. This includes:

* Gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items used by persons with disabilities or medical conditions.

However, if the liquid medications are in volumes larger than 3 ozs each, they may not be placed in the quart-size bag and must be declared to a Transportation Security Officer. A declaration can be made verbally, in writing, or by a person’s companion, caregiver, interpreter, or family member.

I thought the allowable amount of liquids was a 3.4 ounce container, not 3.7.

And:

As long as your Advil is 3.7oz or under you will be fine.

It is neither of these. The correct size is THREE OUNCES.
