[QUOTE="Chalky34, post: 2602989, member: 48111"] SORRY FOR LENGTH I am somewhat shocked as I have never in 20 years had to pay for confirmation in respect of me having diabetes and needing to take my insulin and other paraphernalia when travelling abroad. The airline wants confirmation I am diabetic and need to take my insulin etc in the cabin as it can't go in the hold due to the cold temperature. Apparently some airlines have new rules on cabin luggage size that ONLY allow one small hand luggage bag. Everything above the size they quote has to go in the hold and be paid for. I always have used a small cool bag for my diabetes stuff. Which the airline will allow as well as my hand luggage if I provide confirmation of my diabetes from my surgery. I am told they want £40.00 to do so. No other surgery I have been with has charged for this. I havent been abroad since covid started so my old letter is now tatty and from a different surgery and isn't any good. If that's what I have to pay I will, however I would like to know if this is the norm for those of us with diabetes . [/QUOTE]
