Transit via Dubai with Emirates ....Medication help!

1 reply

Clariceamelia · 22/03/2024 14:01

I am due to fly back to UK from Singapore transiting through Dubai.
I have looked at Emirates rules/regs etc, and as I have been living in Asia now for a few years I do have a fair bit of medication to bring back.

This is HRT supplies - Gel and Tabs
Antidepressants
Migraine Medication
Quite a few over the counter Vitamins and Minerals.

So can I put into my checked luggage? there is quite a lot of it, so to put in hand baggage will be tight for space.

I DO have a Doctor note covering all the prescribed meds ( although there is more than 3 months worth that I am hoping will be tolerated as I am back to live in the UK-not just a holiday)

Has anyone done this? and whilst I am only in Dubai for 2 hours stop over, will it pose a problem? Bags will have been checked and loaded at Singapore and guess just get left on the plane/or transferred to another internally.

I also have a laptop, Ipad and 3 phones - one active, the other two will be switched off and not used. Can I put these in checked baggage - I have always done so before now, but Emirates travel packing advice seems unclear.

Is Emirates actually different to other airlines? Cant work it out and its all a worry...

Any advice gratefully received.

I’d put the medication in checked luggage but keep a week’s supply on you in hand luggage just in case. I think the advice for keeping in hand luggage if I case checked baggage goes awry.

Id keep laptop in hand luggage. There’s rules are lithium barriers in the hold.
