Alcoholic beverages, when tendered for carriage, must be in their original sealed packaging and adequately packed for transportation.

No Passenger or crew may carry on his or her person or pack any drugs as defined in the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of 1992 in the Checked Baggage and may only carry such items on his or her person or pack such items in Unchecked Baggage, if the use and possession of such drugs has been acquired from a medical practitioner, dentist, veterinarian (Medical Practitioner) or pharmacist acting on the oral instruction or written prescription of a Medical Practitioner or have otherwise been acquired in a lawful manner and as permitted in terms of applicable Laws (Permitted Drugs).
All Permitted Drugs must be kept in your hand luggage and you must have a medical letter on hand authorising you to use and possess the Permitted Drugs.
