Q. Can I carry pills in a small plastic bag or a daily dose container?
A. Yes. TSA recommends (but does not require) that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process.

I have a client due to fly home from JFK later today he has messaged me to ask if he can carry a set of 6 wine glasses as hand luggage.

I'll be flying out of the country in June, alone. From SDF to LHR. I'm 16. Would I need a letter from my grandma (my legal guardian) stating that I'm allowed to fly out alone? Or what am I supposed to do? I've flown alone before, just not out of the country.

I took Emirates flight EK202 on Friday, 28th January 2011 from JFK terminal 4. I had checked in one piece of luggage with TSA approved number lock. The bag contained my clothes and a few gifts for my family including two Nintendo Wii game CDs.

I just landed in Bangalore to find that the lock was opened and the Nintendo game CDs are missing.

I am shocked and disappointed that someone would stoop so low to steal games meant for kids. Shame on you.

I also urge the authorities at JFK TSA to look into this matter seriously and get to the bottom of this. My 8 year old son was looking forward to his games and now he would be disappointed because some lowlife stole his games.

Incidents like this have happened before and there are documented cases on Internet where the baggage handlers at JFK have admitted to stealing from passenger's luggage.

I hope that the culprits are caught and brought to justice.

Can I bring pizza slices through security? I will have them wrapped up in foil and plastic bags.. I am flying domestic from NY to NC tomorrow.. I have a friend in NC who really wants some pizza!

My wife is a foreign national flying into JFK on an international flight, then getting a domestic connecting flight. How much time should we allow between flights for her to clear customs and immigration? She is reading horror stories in forums that the wait can be anywhere between 2-10 hours.

Also, she speaks very little English. Are there any services at the airport where someone can meet her and make sure she gets to the right place for her next flight?

My husband & I are meant to be flying tomorrow morning on a domestic US flight.
He has just returned from a business trip & has just discovered that he lost his passport at some point during the last flight.
As he doesn't have his passport, are there any other forms of identification that would be acceptable to fly with? He has his old passport, copies of his visa (we currently live in the US) & current passport & an Australian driver's license - would these documents suffice?

I am flying Jet Blue this Sat. am I allowed to bring my GPS with me in my carry on along with my laptop?

We are travelling from the UK into New York as a group of students with a lecturer just wondering if we are permitted to carry alcohol in our luggage and if so how much? thanks
