Passengers traveling with medication and/or medical issues should be aware of the following guidelines.

Medication

• All prescription and non-prescription medications including eye drops, contact lens solution and cough syrup, are allowed in carry-on luggage. This also includes liquids (including juice) or gels for diabetic or other medical needs; and gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items.
• You are not limited in the amount or volume of medically necessary items in your carry-on baggage. However, you are encouraged to only carry on medication that is required for your trip.

• Not contained in a clear transparent resealable 1 quart (1 liter) size plastic bag; or,
• Over 3 oz. (90ml)

Liquid, gel or aerosol medications that are 3 oz (90ml) or less can be placed in a clear one quart sealable plastic bag (mixed with toiletries) without the need to declare these items.

Medical Considerations
If you have medical documentation regarding your medical condition, you may present such information to the security checkpoint screener to help inform them of your situation. This documentation is not required and will not exempt you from the screening process.

Please notify the screener if you have any implanted medical devices, such as an artificial hip or knee, bone shafts, cranial plates, shrapnel, staples, pins, or metal parts that may set off the metal detector alarm.

If you have a disability, medical condition, or prosthetic device you are not required to remove your shoes for screening. If you keep your shoes on, you will undergo additional visual and physical screening including an explosive trace detection sampling of your shoes while they remain on your feet.
