Davey,
this forum is all about methadone and regulations , maybe someone can get you real legal answers.
I,ve flew around to a couple of cities (NY to Chicago) and back. (NY to Atlanta) and back without any problems.
I put the bottles in my carry on bag and I had a document from my clinic explaining what it was. Any questions to call them.
Fortunately they didnt see them and it wasn't an issue.- but these laws are changing every day. Try that site and ask your clinic
let me know ,what happens

Hi Davey, I've flown to South Africa several times with methadone. Except I got it in tablet form (physeptone) for ease of transportation - ask your Dr, it's much less conspicuous. I didn't have any letters or anything, and nobody even asked me about it. My Dr said that as long as the medication had my name on, I was entitled to carry them. Don't do what I did though, and leave them on the goddamned plane!!!! Some cleaner got a right Brucey bonus that day...

hi there, i've travelled 2 tenerife and had a letter from the doc ith me.they read the letter and didn't give me any trouble.i believe that a letter from ur doc ill be important. have a nice trip.
Thanks folks..i have spoken to my doctor and he did say i would need a letter from him...so i will get that on Weds....just im flying with my 7yr.old daughter and obviously dont want any messing about.Im just travelling with a weeks supply..so that works out as one 500ml.bottle...which as Jack said i will just carry with me personally..so hopefully nothing to worry about.
Take care.....Davey

Davey we flew to Finland last year with a weeks supply.
He had to get a letter from his doctor at the clinic which was forwarded to the Home Office then we got a very official letter back sealed to be opened only if there was a problem - so there would be no legal problems. But as his methadone was amps sealed in glass capsule things and needles it was a pain because we had to bubble wrap everything and then wrap them is socks in case they broke. Not allowed in any hand luggage but carry the letter on you - it'll be fine.

perhaps rather than one bottle u should have 2 then if one should break or anything then u haven't lost everything. have a nice trip.
Davey, That's going to be a nice trip.......good lookout ahead of time.
Man, if that was me I'd be taping that bottle with masking tape to my body.
Ya know I'm an addict and all.........on a plane I want even my asprin in my bra or something........LOL.........an extra bottle sounds good though like Herman said.

Hey Davey,
I usually post over on the family/friends board, but I noticed something that nobody else has mentioned. You might want to make sure you have a sealed bottle when you travel so that you don't run into a hassle with the whole "liquids on an airplane" deal. Just a thought.

Hey Davey, my BF always travels fine with his methadone, he usually likes to keep it with his hand luggage but then you do have to make sure you have it in a clear plastic bag because of taking liquids on board, and so they will want to check it. It will be over the allowed limit of liquids but it should be ok beacuse you you have the medical note.This is fine but then they do sometimes do more checks of your luggage (and mine!). Not loads more trouble but if you didn't want any fuss with Sian maybe put it in the luggage that goes onboard the plane...however, the only time my BF did this they nearly lost his bag!....we had to wait an hour (a pretty stressful hour as you can imagine!) before they eventually found it on the plane..they had left it on there!!!
Have a fantastic holiday! x

Da*n them terrorists......now it's a big deal for us to just board an airplane, but can't complain and it's worth it knowing everyone is safe aboard, BUT:
No way would I EVER put anything worth anything in my luggage.....no way!
That's just me though, but all I can say is..........Guess who may go through your luggage??????????? Plenty of expensive items come up missing at Philly's airport...........and I think "Why in God's great green earth would ya leave like $3,000 worth of jewelry in your luggage?"...............and methadone would be so much more important.
Davey, get yourself a man purse.........seriously.......that or my tape idea.....that is AFTER they see your note and check the bottle..........we ain't needing you getting tackled.........heavens no.
