Blood Pressure Monitor and Thermometer:
- Electronic blood pressure monitors and digital thermometers are permitted in hand luggage. If you pack an electronic blood pressure monitor in your checked baggage, ensure it is well packed and cannot be accidentally activated during the flight.
- As for mercury thermometers, one per person is allowed, but only in checked baggage and must be packed in a protective case.
Medications:
- Prescription and essential personal medications are allowed in hand luggage.
- Airport security may request proof, so it’s advisable to carry them in original packaging along with a copy of the prescription.
Syringes:
- Syringes and insulin pens for medical use are allowed in hand luggage.
- A medical certificate or prescription is recommended.
- It's best to inform security staff in advance.
General Tips:
- Pack all devices and medications securely in protective cases.
- Check specific regulations of your airline and departure airport in advance.
- Be prepared to show these items during security checks and keep your hand luggage accessible.
Following these guidelines will help ensure your journey is safe and comfortable.
