But I would highly doubt they would ever actually enforce this policy. I've never had an issue bringing pumped milk through security. They just swab the outside of the bottle and then run the swab through a testing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/virgin-atlantics-milk-policy-requires-tasting#post-1286500 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:32:52 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1286500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to TSA they can't ask you to drink/taste anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/virgin-atlantics-milk-policy-requires-tasting#post-1286492 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:31:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1286492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Right!!! I'm like "do you have any idea how hard it takes to pump that milk man?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/virgin-atlantics-milk-policy-requires-tasting#post-1286418 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:09:00 +0000 swedishfish 1286418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they mean taste half of what's taken through, not drink half. Though that still sounds strange to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/virgin-atlantics-milk-policy-requires-tasting#post-1286412 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:07:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1286412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um. what? I'll like them try and get me to drink 50% of my precious pumped milk!</p> <p>JFK just scanned the liquid separately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/virgin-atlantics-milk-policy-requires-tasting#post-1286408 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:06:51 +0000 Alivoo01 1286408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to Virgin Atlantic's Baby milk policy, it states<i> "You will be asked to taste 50% of what’s taken through"</i> Say what?! Is it just me or does that read as you have to drink 50% of the milk?! </p> <p>Meanwhile, I do think it's cool they offer infant cots, but I'm still baffled at the milk comment...</p> <p><a href="http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/us/en/travel-information/flying-with-children/babies.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/us/en/travel-information/flying-with-children/babies.html</a> </p>
