[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2131998, member: 475901"] I have flown with several airlines and have never been refused extra hand luggage for my extensive lsit of prescription items. I do have a copy of my prescription and a generic GP letter packed with them. They also have to take my mobility scooter. This is covered under EU law, so added into UK law. The only exceptions I have ever heard of were to do with prescribed oxygen, and I believe even that was successfully challenged as a breach of the EU regulation. I cannot find anything about additional allowances for disabled passengers on their own site but: In addition to the 7kg bag you are allowed either a handbag or 'infant’s amenities and food for consumption on board. The total weight of these items should not exceed 6kg' [URL]https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/gb/travel-info/baggage/cabin-baggage/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
