Do yourself the favor of avoiding lots of aggravation and just pack your medications in your carry on. Many people think it is so much more convenient to pack them in your luggage, but what would you do if you end up in Aruba without your luggage and thus no medicine? Most people do not travel with written copies of their prescriptions.
I learned this lesson the hard way. Not wanting to lug a carry on, I packed my meds in my suitcase. The suitcase did not make it to my destination, thus I had NO medication.
Fortunately I was only traveling domestically and the luggage was found relatively quickly and was delivered to my accommdations about 7 hours after my arrival.
Lucky for me I only missed one dose of medication. Even more fortunate, just as an example, I am not insulin dependent. THAT could have been an emergency.
Imo, carry your prescriptions in your carry on bag in their original containers.
