Travel tips?

Regarding the TSA, I've never been hassled by them about medication. Technically they say you're supposed to have all your pills in their original bottles with prescription information but I've never done that. I pack them unlabeled in travel pill containers, keep them in my carry-on, and I never declare or say a word about them to TSA. You're not supposed to declare them unless they are liquids over 3oz.

I've found the less you say to TSA the better. When I first flew with my ostomy I declared it and they didn't know what the heck an ostomy was or what to do and it was a mess. Ever since then I've never said a word and just go through security like everyone else with no problem. I pack liquid medications for my kids (over the 3oz limit) and never declare them or take them out of my carry-on. TSA never says a word.

Another source of stress for me has always been bathroom access on the plane. I always get an aisle seat. While I've never done this, you can talk to a flight attendant before you take off and explain your medical condition and that you may need immediate access to the bathroom.

I used to travel for work a lot. I never worried about the meds and I never had a question from tsa. I even had my white cholestyramine in an unmarked container--wondered why no one questioned a mystery white powder but no dog chased ms down.

I did always try to get an aisle seat just for peace of mind and never had to talk to the attendant. I do highly recommended putting some crackers or something in your carryon for a safe snack. And get a large bottle of water after security to stay hydrated as airplanes can get quite dry.
