Can I carry medicines on the plane?

Yes, you can carry medicines on the plane, but there are certain regulations in each case.

  • Over-the-counter medicines: there are not any restrictions. However, if you travel with a big amount of medication, you may be requested to travel with a supporting prescription.
  • Prescription medicines: they must be supported by a doctor’s note stating the patient’s diagnosis.
  • Narcotic drugs: the only narcotic drug allowed is marijuana, and just for medical purposes with a doctor’s prescription. This is only valid on domestic flights but prohibited on international flights.

For further information about narcotic drugs and chemical substances, please see Presidential Decree 560/2019.

Can I travel with liquids and aerosol sprays in my carry-on baggage?

You can take liquids, aerosol sprays, and gels in your carry-on baggage if their volume is not over 100 ml per item, and they are inside a hermetically zipped transparent plastic bag.

There are exceptions for amounts higher than 100 ml in your carry-on baggage. For example:

  • Essential medications during the flight, such as diabetes equipment.
  • Liquid or pureed baby food.
  • Breast milk.
