We have traveled a lot with medication as well as medical equipment. It helps to have a note from the doctor. It will make the TSA process a little faster. (My son was always pulled for extra screening.) The airline my husband words for recommends and I think requires a doctor's note. Also, do not let them put your equipment in the baggage compartment. Don't wait until the last minute to tell someone you are traveling with expensive medical equipment. Go up to the desk and tell the gate agent. Chances are, they will let you board early to make sure there is room for your bags.Most flight attendants will be happy to keep your meds on ice for you. If you get someone who is less than cordial, ask another attendant. Just don't forget to ask for them before you leave the plane. The best time is when the plane begins its descent. Don't wait till the last minute when the attendants are busy collecting cups and making sure everyone has their trays up.
