Chronically Ill and Flying... with Dogs, Part Four: Updated Lists!

Comments

Read Now
 
I promised updated packing lists so here they are! Obviously these are personal to me so update them to fit your needs. I decided for this set I would group clothing items by style of attire... then I just have to choose how many days/outfits of each I will need for the trip. If using a printed list I would write out the number of each I need and check it off as it is put into my suitcase- not before. Otherwise I could have prepared it and STILL forgotten it at home. It has happened... brain fog is no joke man. :)

FOOD
  • Do not bring liquids, slurries, gelatins, etc.
  • Whole fruit is allowed
  • Food for travel is allowed but double check with TSA's latest list before travel

To get through TSA faster:
  • Wear shoes that are easy to remove
  • Have laptop and liquids bag stowed in a way that is easily/quickly removable
  • Remove outer layers before arriving at the checkpoint
  • Store nothing in your pockets until after you go through the checkpoint​​

Notes:
  • You can call the airline and have them arrange a wheelchair/assistance for you to the gate and upon arrival if you need assistance.
  • Make sure to confirm with the airline any additional arrangements you make on your ticket before traveling- from pets to food options to assistance... its better safe than sorry!
  • Traveling with pets means that you will need to undergo additional screening at TSA so prepare by giving budgeting extra time.
  • Avoid scented lotions and perfumes on the day of travel as they can affect those around you AND have been known to give a false positive on the initial check they do when you are traveling with a pet/in a wheelchair or assistance device/when you are selected randomly. It doesn't take long to confirm that you are a safe traveler but it is never fun waiting for additional time at security so better safe than sorry.
