Another flight from DTV and another bad experience. Flew to AMS a couple of months ago. On a very cold morning.
I do understand the need for security. No problem at all. However, I am asthmatic and very cold air can set my asthma off. First of all, I put my medications (inhalers) in one bag and other liquids in another. I was advised to do this at LHR. Got criticised for this by security. I was starting to feel ill by the time my bags were x-rayed and said to the security that I would need the inhaler, quickly. I was told very sharply to wait until they had finished. By that time I was struggling to breathe. Someone suggested that I needed a drink of water! I needed the inhaler. Quickly. By the time they had inspected it I was quite ill, coughing to the point of vomiting. After getting the inhaler it took me about 30 minutes to return to normal, far more than usual. No objection to inspecting the inhaler, but they failed completely to understand or appreciate my situation.
