• May take longer than X-ray screening
• Useful if you have concerns about X-ray exposure

What TSA Officers Check

• Prescription label matches passenger name
• Liquid medication appears legitimate (not tampered)
• No signs of explosive material (explosive trace detection swab)
• EpiPen appears to be genuine medical device

Common TSA Issues & Solutions

Issue: TSA Officer Unfamiliar with EpiPens

• Calmly explain: "This is an epinephrine auto-injector for severe allergic reactions"
• Show prescription label or doctor's note
• Request supervisor if officer attempts to confiscate
• Reference TSA medication policy (www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures/traveling-medication)

Issue: TSA Requests Removal from Protective Case

• You can decline to remove EpiPen from carrying case
• TSA can inspect carrying case separately
• Physical inspection alternative available
• Explain temperature sensitivity and need for protection

Issue: Questioned About Multiple EpiPens

• Explain: "Medical best practice recommends carrying 2+ EpiPens for severe reactions"
• Provide doctor's note if TSA persists
• TSA cannot limit medically necessary medications
• Request TSA supervisor if issue continues

International Travel Documentation

Additional Documents for International Flights

• Translated doctor's letter (destination country language)
• Prescription with generic drug name (epinephrine, not just brand name)
• Customs declaration form mentioning medication
• Contact info for allergist at destination (if available)
• International health insurance card

Country-Specific Requirements

• Some countries limit medication imports (check embassy website)
• Prescription medications usually allowed for personal use (30-90 day supply)
• Declaration at customs may be required
• Generic "epinephrine auto-injector" term recognized internationally

Packing EpiPens for Air Travel

Carry-On vs. Checked Luggage

ALWAYS Carry-On - NEVER Check ❌ Do NOT pack EpiPens in checked luggage

• Cargo hold temperatures can freeze or overheat EpiPens
• No access to EpiPen during flight if checked
• Risk of lost luggage leaving you without life-saving medication

✅ Always Pack in Carry-On

• Keep EpiPens with you at all times
• Easily accessible during flight
• Protected from temperature extremes
• Available for immediate use if needed

How Many EpiPens to Bring

Recommended Quantities

• Domestic short trips (1-3 days): 2 EpiPens minimum
• Domestic long trips (1-2 weeks): 3-4 EpiPens
• International travel: 4-6 EpiPens (limited access to replacements abroad)
• Remote destinations: 6+ EpiPens (difficult to obtain emergency replacement)

Why Multiple EpiPens?

• Single dose may not be sufficient (10-20% of anaphylaxis cases require second dose)
• Backup if one EpiPen malfunctions or is accidentally discharged
• Replacement may be unavailable at destination
• Airlines recommend 2× expected quantity for extended trips

EpiPen Storage & Carrying Cases

Temperature Protection EpiPens must be stored at 68-77°F (20-25°C):

• Avoid freezing (below 32°F/0°C) - damages medication
• Avoid excessive heat (above 86°F/30°C) - degrades epinephrine
• Never leave in car (temperature extremes)
• Avoid direct sunlight exposure

Recommended Carrying Cases

1. Insulated medication cases (FRIO, MediCool) - passive cooling via evaporation
2. Hard-shell protective cases (EpiPen branded case, pelican-style)
3. Soft pouches with belt clip (quick access, visible)
4. Travel medication organizers (multiple compartments for EpiPen + antihistamines)

Best Practices ✅ Keep EpiPen in original box (clear prescription label visible) ✅ Use insulated case if traveling to hot climate ✅ Attach case to belt/purse for constant access ✅ Use brightly colored case (easy to locate in emergency) ✅ Include emergency contact info on case

What NOT to Do ❌ Store in airplane overhead bin (too difficult to access in emergency) ❌ Leave in seat-back pocket (could be forgotten) ❌ Pack loose in carry-on without protection ❌ Store in checked luggage (temperature extremes + inaccessible)

In-Flight Considerations

Notifying Airline & Flight Crew

Should You Notify the Airline in Advance? Optional but recommended for severe allergies:

• Call airline special assistance line 24-48 hours before flight
• Explain allergy and request allergen-free meal
• Ask if "buffer zone" seating available (some airlines accommodate)
• Request early boarding to wipe down seat area

Notifying Flight Attendants Recommended for safety:

1. Discreetly inform lead flight attendant upon boarding
2. State allergy clearly: "I have a severe peanut allergy and carry an EpiPen"
3. Show flight attendant EpiPen location in your carry-on
4. Provide brief instruction: "If I have a reaction, I'll use my EpiPen and need emergency medical assistance"
5. Ask if airline can avoid serving allergen on flight (not guaranteed)

Flight Attendant Cannot:

• Guarantee allergen-free environment
• Police other passengers' food
• Prevent passengers from bringing outside food containing allergens

Flight Attendant CAN:

• Avoid serving specific allergen in snacks/meals (when possible)
• Announce allergy to passengers (requesting cooperation)
• Provide immediate assistance if anaphylaxis occurs
• Administer airline's onboard emergency epinephrine (if trained and available)

In-Flight Allergen Exposure Risks

Common In-Flight Allergens

• Peanuts/Tree nuts: Snack bags, trail mix, cookies
• Shellfish: Some airline meals
• Dairy: Milk, cheese, yogurt in meals
• Wheat/Gluten: Bread, crackers, pretzels
• Eggs: Breakfast meals, baked goods

Reducing Exposure Risk ✅ Wipe down tray table, armrests, seat belt with sanitizing wipes ✅ Bring your own safe snacks and meals ✅ Decline airline meals if allergen risk uncertain ✅ Wash hands frequently (avoid touching face) ✅ Consider wearing mask (reduces airborne allergen exposure) ✅ Request seat change if neighboring passengers have visible allergens

Using EpiPen During Flight

Signs of Anaphylaxis

• Difficulty breathing, wheezing, throat tightness
• Swelling of face, lips, tongue, throat
• Rapid pulse, dizziness, fainting
• Hives, itching, flushed skin
• Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps
• Sense of impending doom

If Anaphylaxis Occurs

1. Use EpiPen immediately (don't wait - seconds matter)
2. Call for help - "I need medical assistance! I'm having an allergic reaction!"
3. Inject epinephrine into outer thigh (can inject through clothing)
4. Lie flat with legs elevated (unless vomiting or difficulty breathing, then sit up)
5. Prepare second EpiPen (may need second dose in 5-15 minutes)
6. Take antihistamine (Benadryl/diphenhydramine) if able
7. Alert flight crew - cabin crew will assess and call for medical professionals on board

After EpiPen Administration

• Flight crew will call for medical professional passengers (doctor, nurse, paramedic)
• Pilot may declare medical emergency and request priority landing
• Ambulance will meet aircraft at destination or diversion airport
• You MUST seek emergency medical care even if symptoms improve (biphasic reactions can occur 4-12 hours later)

Airline Emergency Medical Equipment

• All commercial aircraft carry emergency medical kits
• Some airlines stock supplemental epinephrine (in addition to passenger's EpiPen)
• Flight attendants trained in basic emergency response
• Medical professionals on board may assist if available

EpiPen Storage During Flight

Best In-Flight Storage ✅ Personal item under seat in front of you (immediate access) ✅ Insulated case to maintain temperature ✅ Visible/easily identifiable case (bright color)

Avoid ❌ Overhead bin (takes too long to access in emergency) ❌ Seat back pocket (could be forgotten or kicked) ❌ Checked luggage (inaccessible during flight) ❌ Window seat if EpiPen owner needs quick bathroom access

Temperature & Storage Considerations

Temperature Sensitivity of Epinephrine

Optimal Storage Temperature

• Ideal: 68-77°F (20-25°C)
• Acceptable short-term: 59-86°F (15-30°C)
• Damaged by: Below 32°F (0°C) or above 95°F (35°C)

Effects of Temperature Extremes

• Frozen epinephrine: Crystalized, ineffective, cloudy solution
• Overheated epinephrine: Degrades rapidly, turns brown, loses potency
• Optimal range: Clear, colorless solution

Visual Inspection Before each use, check EpiPen: ✅ Solution is clear and colorless ✅ No particles or cloudiness ✅ No brown/yellow discoloration ❌ Discard if solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles ❌ Discard if EpiPen has been frozen

Protecting EpiPens During Travel

Hot Climates / Summer Travel

• Use insulated medication case (FRIO, MediCool)
• Activate cooling pouches per manufacturer instructions (usually water-activated)
• Avoid leaving EpiPen in car (can reach 120°F+ in summer)
• Store in hotel room safe or refrigerator (not freezer)
• Carry in air-conditioned areas when possible

Cold Climates / Winter Travel

• Keep EpiPen close to body (inner jacket pocket)
• Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure in freezing temperatures
• Use insulated case to maintain temperature
• Don't store in unheated areas (car trunk, outdoor luggage)
• Bring indoors immediately upon arrival

Airplane Cabin Environment

• Cabin temperature typically 65-75°F (18-24°C) - safe for EpiPens
• Avoid window seat in direct sunlight (can overheat)
• Keep in insulated case if cabin temperature feels extreme
• Cargo hold can drop below freezing - never check EpiPens
