       #NZTwits Can you take Epipens in check in luggage or do they have to be carry on?As far as I can understand from Air NZ website, they are ok to go in check in?

       @Clianthus I have injection pens and always put them in carry on. Wouldn't trust them in the hold. I always declare them at security, never an issue with exception of a UK to US flight when they wanted more info, to see prescription.If international, double check at check in.

       @Essjax @Clianthus came here to say similar. I don’t have epipens, but I do have insulin pens and I’ve always been advised carry-on 1) in case of luggage loss and 2) due to temperature/pressure changes that might affect the medication.

       @T @EssjaxThank you both. We carry them for orchard work, just in case someone in the team has a severe reaction to a bee/wasp sting. Normally we drive to our work sites so I haven't had to consider this about the Epipens before. I think based on your advice that it's best to go with carry on - I'd hate to get to the orchard and find we need one but it's been compromised. Thank you!
