wafer/barriers, eakin seals /paste, etc. for changing. It can be a
trick changing standing up in an airjet bathroom, but it can and has
been done. I have carried my stoma hole cutter in my carry-on and
haven't had problems, but I pack it as I believe they will view it. I
pack it so that the cutter part is to the side when the carry-on lays
flat.

take double the kit you usually use and all the spares in hand
luggage - just in case your baggage goes mssing. I believe airlines
will allow extra if you tell them. Don't worry the bag won't inflate
with the pressure. I went through all this the first time as well :)

I have a Urostomy. I flew from Chicago and London and back again.
On the continent I flew to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Frankfurt-London.

I had a seat right next to the WC. Every 2 hours I visited that
place. No problem. As you know a urostomy produces 24 hours a day.
Bag has to be emptied every 2 hours on plane. It even helps with the
circulation.
