Can I have medication in my hand baggage?
Yes, we recommend that you carry essential medicines in your hand baggage.
It is best to pack all medicines (over-the-counter and prescription) in a separate pouch or vanity case, keeping their original packaging and leaflets. Remember to take your prescriptions and medical certificates with you, as the security checker may ask you to authenticate the medicines you are carrying.
