We realize that medical supplies or equipment may be a necessity on your trip; therefore these items are allowed on board as additional items at no extra charge. Some medical items can be carried on the plane, along with the regular carry-on allowance, as long as they meet the standard size and weight limits.
Delta will accept a self-contained breathing apparatus used by emergency rescue units as checked baggage as long as the unit's weight does not exceed 150 lbs. (68kgs). Please contact Reservations 24 hours in advance to let us know that you will need to bring a breathing apparatus along with you on your trip. Information about onboard medical oxygen is found in our section on Services for Travelers with Disabilities.
If your medication must be administered with a needle or syringe, it will be permitted in carry-on baggage as long as it is accompanied with medication that has a professionally printed label identifying the medication, a manufacturer’s name, or pharmaceutical label.
