Skybus question

tropical.dreams

I'm flying Skybus in December, and not checking any bags, just taking a carry on.

I'm thinking of doing an investigational drug study, and the drug is a liquid in a large bottle (bigger than 3 oz). From what the RN at the research group said, it doesn't sound like the drug will have an "official" prescription, in terms of having my name/Dr./ect printed on the box or bottle.

Is it even possible to take this with me, or will I have to decline the study?

If you decided to do the study, you would need to check the bag and hope they don't confiscate it.  Or pour some into an approved-size bottle and put it in your carry-on and hope they don't ask what it is.

I would just pour it into one of the 3 oz approved bottles. If you aren't going for long, you shouldn't need more than that, I would imagine. Or you could always put it in 2 3oz bottles if need be.

From what I've seen they don't allow liquids larger than 3oz. I just flew Skybus for the 2nd time this past week.(Unless it was in a checked bag, which is only $5.00) You may want to try to contact Skybus on their website to confirm.

i agree about just splitting it into smaller travel sized bottles. depending on what it looks like, you can even slap a label on there like "hairspray" or something. i bought a little travel bag from the Andersons that had 4 travel bottles and preprinted labels "shampoo" "conditioner" etc.

If it's clearly medicine, I think you can declare it at the security checkpoint.  You'd have to double check with the TSA website.
