Travelling with Medication
Hi, my mum who has lung problems is hoping to come over and visit us in December from the UK, she takes a lot of medication, steroids etc, she would like to travel with Emirates but I am a bit worried that going through Dubai would be a mistake, and whether she would be better going through Singapore instead?! She is going to get assistance if possible but wondered if anyone had any experience of taking medication through either airport and if one was better than the other for her? Thanks

Re: Travelling with Medication
Not a problem whatsover, my parents have lived in duabi for 8 years i have gone from oz to dubai and back and dubai uk and back numerous times with antidepressants and Clexane pre filled syringes, i always take a doctors note but never ever been asked for it or stopped and i have to carry the syringes in my hand luggage as need to inject very close to flying time and so it always go through the xray and never ever even had bag looked at.
Think dubai gets a bad rep in general but its all fine lol
