Can You Take Medicines on Jet2? A Complete Guide (2026)

Jet2's medical policy leans more procedural than most - it's less about blanket exemptions and more about specific steps: original packaging, declaration points, and a named clearance form for oxygen. Once you know the sequence, it's straightforward.

Quick Answer: Yes. Jet2 allows prescription medicines, tablets, inhalers, insulin and essential medical equipment in the cabin. Liquid medication over 100ml needs a doctor's letter and must be in its original container. Oxygen of any kind requires pre-approval through Jet2's Assisted Travel Team using a Medical Information Form (MEDIF).

Jet2 Medicine Rules at a Glance

• Carry all essential medication for your trip in your hand luggage.

• Liquid medication over 100ml needs a doctor's letter and must stay in its original container - security may open it for screening.

• Needles, insulin pens and EpiPens need a doctor's letter, and must be declared three times: at check-in, at security, and to cabin crew when boarding.

• Any personal oxygen supply must be pre-approved via a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) from your doctor, submitted to the Assisted Travel Team.

• Only a small number of Portable Oxygen Concentrator models are cleared for use on board.

• Contact the Assisted Travel Team at least 48 hours before your flight for any medical equipment.

Liquid Medication Over 100ml: Keep the Original Packaging

This is a genuine Jet2-specific detail: essential liquid medication over 100ml must be certified by a doctor's letter, and it needs to be presented in its original container rather than decanted. Airport security may open bottles or packaging as part of screening, so build a little extra time into your journey through the checkpoint. Source: Jet2 - Carriage of Oxygen and Medical Equipment

Needles, Insulin Pens and EpiPens: Three-Point Declaration

If you're carrying syringes, needles, insulin pens or EpiPens, Jet2 strongly recommends a doctor's letter - and you're required to declare them three separate times: at check-in, at airport security, and to the cabin crew when you board. Since security screening isn't under Jet2's control, it's worth agreeing a contingency plan with your doctor in case equipment isn't cleared through security on the day. Any injections needed during the flight must be self-administered - cabin crew can't assist.

Oxygen: Pre-Approval Required, No Exceptions

Jet2 only carries oxygen for emergencies and cannot supply it for personal use. If you need supplementary oxygen, you must bring your own supply - but it has to be pre-approved before travel. That means contacting the Assisted Travel Team and providing a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) completed by your treating doctor. Liquid oxygen systems aren't permitted under any circumstances.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC)

Only a small number of POC models currently have clearance for use on Jet2 aircraft, and medical clearance is required regardless of the model. Contact the Assisted Travel Team directly to check whether your specific device is cleared and to start the approval process - this isn't something to leave until the day of travel.

Other Medical Equipment

Jet2 considers other medical equipment requests case by case. Equipment that's non-essential and exceeds your baggage allowance is charged under standard excess baggage rules, and carriage is subject to space and availability on the aircraft, as well as Montreal Convention provisions - worth having appropriate travel insurance in place regardless.

Should Medicines Go in Your Cabin Bag or Hold Luggage?

Always the cabin bag for anything essential. Jet2 can't refrigerate medication in flight, so plan accordingly if your medicine needs cooling.

Packing Toiletries Alongside Medication

Ordinary toiletries - toothpaste, deodorant, sun cream, shampoo - still fall under the standard 100ml liquids rule and need to go in your clear bag, separate from any certified medical liquids. Rather than sourcing each item separately and checking every bottle against the limit, a pre-packed kit is already sized and compliant - pick the version that matches you:

Jet2 Medicines Checklist

• Declare needles at check-in, security, and to cabin crew.

• Submit a MEDIF for any personal oxygen supply, well before travel.
