Any Tips For Flying With Shakes & Vitamins

[Autumnjazz 8]

Hey I'm a little concerned with an upcoming trip. I'm only planning on taking my carry on with me, do I have to take ALL the original Vitamin bottles or can I just take my lil pill carrier. Whatabout Protein Shake mix? Help!

I took my pills in my pill box for 7 days. I was not going to be gone for long on my last trip. I know that they suggest that you keep prescription meds in the bottles especially narcotics. It never hurts to be safe. I know when I leave the country I keep all of my pills in the bottles. It is a pain but I do not want to end up in some trouble over medications. As far as your shake mix I have individual packets that I travel with and as long as they are powder and in the package I have not had any trouble. I usually buy a bottle of Water and then use my shaker to make my shake. Or if on the plane they will give you water and ice and you can shake away.

powders and Vitamins are fine--if you're just taking a carry-on, sounds like a domestic flight, and you'll be fine.

So it's ok to take your narcs on a plane? I sure don't want my bottle confiscated!

yes you may take pain medications on the plane but I would leave them in their original bottle. You will not have any problems with them taking them away as long as they are prescription and given to you by a physician and are in a bottle from the pharmacy

Just take the number of Vitamins you need, no sense carrying all the bottles.< /p>

As for shake, just measure amounts into zip lock bags, doubt security will notice and if they do and taste they will know it isn't drugs. What is worst case, they confiscate it.
