In this section you can find advice about travelling with medication and medical equipment or if you have a medical condition. Please check with your airline if you have special requirements before travelling, but be reassured that if you have a genuine medical condition supported by a letter from your GP or hospital then there should be no problem with taking such items on board the plane.
Remember, non-prescription medicines for children and adults can be purchased at Boots in the departure lounge. If you have concerns, however, please speak to a member of our security staff. We recommend that you carry a signed letter about your condition from your GP or medical practitioner. If you have a pacemaker or any other medical device that may be affected by walking through an archway metal detector, please advise our security officers prior to going through security.

Please let our security staff know that your hand baggage contains your equipment when you present it at security control. All passengers travelling from an airport have to go through security checks and no one is exempt from this. However, we do recognise that our passengers are individuals with different needs and some need to be treated with more sensitivity.
All your questions about security and medication are answered on these pages and here we also cover other topics of particular interest if you or a member of your group has special needs or needs assistance through the airport. Find out more about planning in advance for your trip, our facilities and services and lots of other advice in the special assistance section of our website.
We always recommend that you pre-book assistance at the airport at least 72 hour in advance. If you would like to be assisted through security then please go to the special assistance welcome desk in the check-in area.
A member of the special assistance team will accompany you through the family and assistance security lane. There is a member of staff outside the family and assistance lane who will be able to advice you on the best route through security. The family and assistance lane has a wider gate for wheelchairs and buggies and staff working in this area are specially trained to take extra care with passengers who have additional needs. Please note that some things, such as ice packs can only be brought through security with appropriate documentation see guidance for specific items.
If you have a pace maker or any other medical device that may be affected by walking through an archway metal detector, please advise our security staff before going through security.

Security scanners are safe for all of our passengers. They're important to remember in case all else fails. And besides, you might want nothing more than your best friend by your side if you travel.
There are international rules regarding transporting pets, and there are those imposed by airlines. The government also maintains a list of airlines and airports you can use to travel with your pet. Your pet will also need to be microchipped. A valid animal health certificate AHC will also be required, which you can get from your vet. It may take a few days to process, so the government recommends applying for your pet's AHC at least one month before you plan to travel.
Embassies should be your first port of call for questions and information about what certifications your pet needs before it can travel. This needs to include plenty of water. Remember that travelling in the hold — or even travelling at all — can be a traumatic experience for animals.
Pet insurance policies offer limited coverage for pet travel. However, this requires your pet to be allowed to travel. If you travel with your pet without the necessary approvals, you are likely to invalidate your insurance. Each airline will have a different set of allowances and restrictions for hold and hand luggage. These can vary from route to route and change at short notice, as can charges for excess baggage. Avoid any nasty surprises at the airport by knowing your luggage restrictions, double-checking your baggage allowance on your airline's website, and remembering to pre-book any excess charges to make sure you always pay the lowest fees.
Pretty much everything you own can be flown in the hold of a plane including pets, bikes, musical instruments and coffins , but each airline has a strict set of restrictions and hold luggage allowances that can end up costing you a lot of money if you ignore them. Within reason, most airlines will let you check as many heavy bags as you like into the hold, but they will usually charge you an excess fee for doing so — which are always much more at the airport than they are online.
