Medication:

There aren’t any weight limits or overweight charges for medical equipment. There is a limit to the number of checked bags for medication or medical supplies, though.

All checked bags with medical supplies need to be supported by an official medical letter and authorised when you check in at the airport.

You may be asked to check your larger cabin bag in on busy flights so it’s best to pack essential medication into your handbag that is guaranteed to travel in the cabin.
