Traveling by air with meals for the tube

Your article was very helpful, Rose. Thank you. Since you have so much travel experience, do you think it's worthwhile paying the TSA fee and interviewing for the "TSA Pre-check?"
 
I think its worth it for the average traveler. Its a bit hard to quantify though. If your PALS is not mobile, then I think it would not do much to speed the screening process. (It would for you though). I've intended to get the pre-check, because when my boarding pass comes up with it (its random for me) it has made it easier.

The last time I started to fill the paperwork out for it, I got sidetracked trying to decide if I wanted to do "Global Entry" too, and ended up not completing either application lol.

I don't think that TSA Pre-Check would do anything at all to speed the process of getting medical liquids tested. However, next time I get enough energy up to fly somewhere, I intend to call the TSA Cares phone number (1-855-787-2227) to see if this improves the experience. They say you can schedule a Passenger Support Specialist to meet you at the checkpoint.

FYI apparently (I learned this since I published that post on Tube Chic) the Americans with Disabilities Act enables a tube fed person to have an extra bag (whether carryon or checked) and not be charged for it. The bag must be clearly labeled/tagged, and contain only feeding tube supplies. Airlines are required to let you have it without any fees, and if you wish to bring it into the cabin instead of checking it, you may have it in addition to your regular carry on bag.
