Essential medicines and baby food may be permitted in larger quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to the authentication that is already currently required. Any baby milk, sterilised water or liquid food must be tasted by the passenger to verify it's authentic. Essential medication over 100mls needs to be verified at the airport chemist. Air New Zealand recommends this is arranged prior to check-in to avoid unnecessary delays.
In respect of any medication a customer may be carrying in their cabin baggage or on their person, it is important that the medication has a professionally printed label identifying the medication or manufacturers name or pharmaceutical label affixed. Diabetes related supplies/equipment may be carried, however they will be inspected to ensure prohibited items are not concealed. Customers are advised to carry a letter from their Doctor verifying the need for any medical items to be carried, as some countries require such a letter to be presented.
Should you have any questions in relation to restricted items please contact your nearest Air New Zealand Travelcentre or Air New Zealand Reservations office.
