Travelling to Greece in a couple weeks, first time abroad with 19 month old who has a dairy allergy.

I am confused with what I can and cant bring in hand luggage and pack in case.

I have read better of ordering online with Boots then collecting at Airport in case any problems at Checking in?


I want to bring my daughters usual snacks and more importantly dairy free milk- will I be ok packing in suitcase?


I also want to bring Calpol and a first aid kit-would Calpol be ok to bring into Greece and what would you recommend as travel essentials with lil ones!


Thanks for help!

I don?t think that there are any restrictions on taking foodstuffs and calpol in your suitcase. Just weight limits from the airline. If you were going to Australia it would be different! There are rules about what you can take in hand luggage in terms of liquids so just check you?re compliant on that front and anything you buy airside can be taken on too.

We had no problems finding soy milk in Crete last year, although we were staying in a pretty tiny town. In the past we have taken cartons of the long life Alpro (usually those individual cartons) in our luggage, as well as dairy free spread transferred into Tupperware.


If I?d known about pre-ordering from Boots airside then I?d probably have done that. It saves worrying about the 100ml limit or leakage in your hold luggage.

Thank you for letting me know. Decided no to order online and will just buy there instead.

      Fireworks

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
