I understand I have to have any meds I may need while on my flights in original containers in my carryon luggage.. What about the week's meds I'll need while at my destination? Can these be in the daily/weekly type containers i normally use at home and placed in checked luggage?

    Hi Robert,
    Yes you can take all your medicines in your daily pill dispenser or the original bottles in the carry-on. I will suggest that you keep all medicine in your carry-on and not in your checked luggage just in case it gets delayed. Have a good trip.

    Robert,
    You can take all your medicines in daily pill dispensers or original bottles in carry-on. I would not put them in checked baggage. You just need to know what the medicines are when you pass security if they even ask.

    You can keep them in the original containers if Security has any questions OR you may divide them up into pill boxes and bring the paper prescription list with you. Either way, they won't be a problem.
