Hiya! Im leanne! Im 18 from manchester and im going away in 6 weeks on a girls holiday to cyprus!
Ive flown before being diabetic, but never with a pump!!

I know there is a fridge for my medication as it is my appartment, and all of my medication is to go into the hand luggage ect!

I have a Drs note, but im extremely scared to fly with a pump.....

1 can my pump if need be.. Go through the hand luggage scanner?

2 do i keep my pump attached to go through the 'beeper' arch way? :p

3 i know it cant go thru the scanner that x rays you naked so what would i do in that case?

4 what do i do when it beeps through the arch way and they ask me what it is?

5 do i show them i have a pump before i go through the scanner?

6 do i tell easyjet in advance before flying!?

Oh im also flying from liverpool airport for the first time!

HELP IM INCREDIBLY NERVOUS WHAT DO I DOOOOOO!!!!!!

Thankyou!! :) xx

I know my comment is not much help but I am flying from Manchester tomorrow for the first time with my pump. I'm really nervous for it.

I'll be following this thread or answers :)

Enjoy your holiday.
