Can you bring baby medicine on a plane with Japan Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing baby medicine on Japan Airlines

 

Japan Airlines allows parents to carry necessary baby medicines, formula and breast milk in the cabin. Liquids and gels for infants are exempt from the usual 100 ml/3.4 oz carry‑on limit, but security staff will need to screen them separately.

  • Carry medicines in your hand luggage so they are accessible during the flight and for security checks.
  • Keep medicines in original, labeled containers and bring any prescription or a doctor’s note for prescription drugs.
  • Declare baby medicines and liquid foods at security screening so staff can advise on additional screening (X‑ray or inspection).
  • Bring enough supply for the trip plus extra in case of delays; pack a small cooler or insulated bag for temperature‑sensitive items and check with JAL in advance if special handling is needed.
  • Check destination import rules for any controlled substances or prescription medicines—some countries require documentation or advance approval.

If you have a complex medical need or carry controlled medication, contact Japan Airlines customer service before travel to confirm procedures. Keep medicines readily available during travel and remain calm when screened—security and cabin crew are used to assisting families.
