Can I bring baby formula powder on a Virgin Atlantic flight?

 

Yes. Baby formula and baby food (including powdered formula) are allowed in carry-on when traveling with an infant. At security you should:

  • Declare the formula and any breast milk or sterilized water to security staff.
  • Separate these items from your other carry-on for screening.
  • Be prepared for additional screening (inspection, X‑ray or swab). Some airports may ask to open containers or test powders.
  • If you need a lot of powder, consider packing some in checked luggage to avoid extra checks, but always keep enough for the flight in the cabin.
  • Onboard crew can usually help with warming or preparing feeds, but check with the airline if you need special assistance.

Tip: Pack scoops, empty sterilized bottles or measured portions, and a copy of your baby’s feeding schedule to make security and inflight feeding smoother. Also check any destination rules or customs restrictions before travel.
