In about two weeks I will be flying to Montana and there is going to be one stop in Denver from KS. I am worried about my CH. It is still going strong. I know that I need to ask the airline if it is ok for me to take my Imitrex injections on the flight, but the question I have is do I warn them that I might have an attack on the flight so they don't freek out??? especially if we aren't at the appropriate altatude to get up and race to the BR. Any suggestions? Sorry about the spelling. Thanks...................Kim

You can talk to the flight attendant as you get on and I bet they'll be happy to accommodate you.

Well, thats assuming that you make it through passenger screening with the trex - needles are a big no-no.
You may want to call the airport and talk to someone in the passenger screening area. Odds are good that you're not the first person they will have seen that needs to take such meds with you on flight. Get their advice on what to do.
Also, you will want to call the airline and talk to someone about your problem. I'm sure they will do what they can to help you, but it will behoove you to have a foreknowledge of their policies.
And, you may want to call ahead to the airport from which you will be returning, because different airports handle passenger screening differently.
good luck to you,
walt

I was planning to call the airlines. Man what a hassal this is I so hate this crap. I will take all your advice and If I can't have the Imitrex I can always see what my doctor can prescribe for the flight instead. I have an appointment before I go.

When I flew to Aruba for my Honeymoon I brought injections on the plane......The only thing they required that it was sealed and labeled upon entry.....Also got a letter from my doctor.
Good luck
