[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 106221, member: 1338"] Hi Kay, Excellent advice from Alice, but just a couple of things to add. You won't need a doctor's note as all your medications are in tablet form - it's only liquids (like insulin) that you might have trouble boarding the plane with. Make sure you take enough meds with you to last the holiday (plus a bit more to be on the safe side) and carry them all in your hand luggage. Don't pack them away in your suitcase because pills tend to have a habit of magically disappearing from luggage! As you are not a regular traveller, make sure any travel insurance you get is for a single trip, not a full year policy. This will make it much cheaper. It is essential to have travel insurance for a destination like Austria in the winter. If you were to slip on a snow-covered pavement it's nice to know the cost of your treatment will be covered. Finally - enjoy the experience!! [/QUOTE]
