hi folks. A few were askign about travleing and flying,. i recently took a flight to another country. The security was fine. I only made one point to them I had a apiance. They got a male security guard and then he put gloves on and went down the area AI pointed out gentely. . They were good about it and after using the wand also for metals to check for security a normal thing. I was let go on my way only taking two min. or less. No hassels at all. Upon the return flight returing to the USA there was no checks at all. So in all it was goodf. Also my vactaion went well. No problems what so ever.

Hi Mart,
That's great news! I myself have never flown but have heard many horror stories how some folks have been treated. Maybe they really have been educated since then.

Hi Hatlady and all,

I've had my ostomy for over 50 years, since I was a kid, and didn't think I really needed to be part of the ostomy site. But once active, I came to realize, that although I may not need help at the time, I was able to reach out and help others in need. Back in the day, before stoma therapists, I use to visit new patients in the hospital or homes ... While professionals are great, it is also good to be able to speak with people with personal experience. I was a free member for awhile, but after writing often, I was given free months. I then started paying, and decided to just take lifetime membership. After all, I was going to have my ostomy for the rest of my life. I'm one of those people who can disappear for a few months at a time, but I'm always glad that the site is here, I can return and reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This is an excellent site ... Best regards to all ... and Best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.

We went to the USA and Canada from Manchester via Frankfurt late June this year. I had my Braun pump with the stoma covers, spare bags, KY jelly and all the pills etc. The ONLY problem I had was a case with the phone chargers, laptop and cables. Everything else (including me) sailed through. The aitports were:
Manchester, Frankfurt, Detroit, Washington, Frankfurt and Manchester
The airline was Lufthansa and I did send them a letter before the trip explaining about the stoma and the pump
Enjoy your trip.
