[QUOTE="WJP1055, post: 2001435, member: 361282"] I also take out annual travel insurance which costs around £150pa, it covers my wife and I (T1D) for travel anywhere in the world. We tend to do a few trips away each year. I used to work from time to time in The Netherlands and on one return trip home was asked to put my all medication in my suitcase. I did refuse but was told I would not be allowed to board the flight unless I removed it from my hand-luggage. Having offered the lady at the check-in desk my GPs letter explaining that I needed to carry the medication with me she simply reiterated that I had to transfer my medication to my suitcase for storage in the hold! I was left with no choice and did as I was told. This all occurred about 15 years ago and only occurred on that one occasion. It may be worth checking with the airline directly. [/QUOTE]
