flamingos Posted August 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Once again in the pre-planning weeds. We have to test after we get to Copenhagen. We were thinking of carrying our e-med tests in our carryon, given the problems people have been having with baggage. But it has liquid in it, and has to remain sealed. So I'll toss it out to the hive mind. Will it be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted August 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2022 You will be fine with covid tests in carryon. Actually is recommended since they are temperature sensitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'd ask @Ourusualbeachthough he is cruising and might be a while to reply. @John&LaLawould probably say putting it in your checked luggage could be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseWendy Posted August 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The liquid is such a small qty and it's a sealed package. Won't be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare exm Posted August 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It’s less than 100mg so no concerns. Make sure to bring at least one spare test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where ours were when we went through TSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crzndeb Posted August 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Remember, TSA criteria is 3oz. Not even close in the Covid tests. I will be going to Barcelona in Oct. and if testing is still going on, I will be taking my last Emed test and one of my govt. tests that I can have proctored for $20.

flamingos Posted August 13, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem, but finding problems is what my brain does before a trip. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted August 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We just flew to Amsterdam from Los Angeles with our eMed tests in our carryon backpack. Only problem was making sure the boxes were/stayed intact ... bubble wrapped them to be on the safe side. No problem and easy to take the tests on our laptop at our hotel and having the hotel print out the hard copy for us. We did the same thing in April flying from Los Angeles to Orlando. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying into Schiphol was unexpectedly worse at least for us vs flying out. The (ONE) line to get out through immigration and claim our luggage and get out to a taxi took us over 3 hours. After landing as we walked towards the signs saying baggage claim we wondered what the long line we passed was for (almost 1/2 mile long)...then once we got to where we thought was luggage claim (silly us) we realized that we had to go back and get in that line. Once in it we saw many many people passing by us only to see them return to get in line. Their faces of disbelief was one that we probably had too. Best of luck !!!

We booked our connecting flight to Copenhagen for 1:30, when our flight was arriving at 8:10. It has since been changed to arrival at 10:15. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"www.promedical.dk" $27 pp Yea, I was going to recommend this too. ProMedical is just a block off from Nyhaven [surely a bucket list tourist haunt one is likely to visit]. We had made an appointment day before our flight home in June [and planned a Nyhaven visit that day]...but lo and behold, the CDC canceled their testing requirement to come back to the USA during our trip [should have played the lottery that day, ha]. Is testing required again for some reason [or just for the cruise perhaps]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted August 14, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2022 We’re also cruising from Copenhagen and bringing emed tests in carryon. We brought them on our odyssey TA in April because we needed to test to fly home. We tested in Italy. No issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the connecting line when we arrived into Schiphol and it was also so long at one time these lines were getting entangled until airport staff had to separate them from arriving and departing on a connection. What a mess this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another matter: I had my emed tests in my checked luggage and the boxes were dented and the seals broken. The proctors (did 6 tests) didn’t care. They ask to scan the expiration date and then ask you to open the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think fedex ships them in air-cooled containers. Or the post office. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
