We strongly suggest that you bring all your medication onboard in your carryon bag or personal item. If you opt to check your medication with your checked baggage, be sure to inform the Customer Service Agent or Skycap at the ticket counter. 

Medications needed for a disability do not count toward bag limits if they’re packed separately from other personal items.  

If you are traveling on an itinerary that includes an overnight connection, you will not be able to access your checked baggage during your layover. If your carryon bag must be checked because of space constraints, remove your medication and keep it with you.  

At the airport 

Needles and syringes used to inject medications are allowed past the security checkpoint if they're packed with the medication for which they’re needed. 

If you have questions or concerns about transporting medication or medical supplies through a security checkpoint, explore the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security screening procedures on the TSA website.   

Onboard the aircraft 

Our planes aren't equipped for the storage of refrigerated medications, so plan accordingly. If you use a needle or syringe while onboard, alert a Flight Attendant so we can provide a disposal container.  

All planes are equipped with a first-aid kit, containing common over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Our Flight Attendants will offer OTC medication to you if the need arises. However, Flight Attendants will not physically administer medication—whether from the first-aid kit or that you bring with you. If this type of care is needed during the flight, consider traveling with a ticketed caregiver or personal care attendant.
