I’m travelling to Europe with my partner in a couple of months and I’m not on regular contraception, so I want to take the morning after pill with me, just in case we have an accident while we’re over there.

Will I still…

Flying Emirates to Dubai – how strict are they on carry on? I’ve always had 2 carry on, 1 as my normal pack while the second being my small laptop bag that fit under my seat.
