Frags and Planes?

[speedstar]

What the current status of having Frags on AirPlanes? I want to attend the coral farmers markey, but have no idea how the frags would make it home with it being a sunday and no feddex. Can they be checked or carried on?

as long as there is no ban on liquids you should be able to carry on the items. you could always call and see what they say. good luck

kinda makes me wonder will altitute affect the frag?

Supposedly, liquids are permissable, now. But, I think it's limited to only a few ounces. You should triple-check with the airlines 800# service as well as their front desk (and take down their names).

the limit is 4 oz per container, and all containers packet together in a clear ziplock bag. You could consider transporting them wrapped in damp paper towels. I have heard of people shipping overnight that way for years.

I am former TSA, and have transported frags many times(before liquid ban). Pack them well and submit as checked baggage. DO NOT ask airlines! They will either deny or charge xtra. I have brought them home in my checked baggage with no losses. BTW there is no liquid limit to checked baggage just weight, hiccup:beer:

The question is are they rough being checked in with baggage. Cant you see them flinging your suitcase into a corner and having the frag flopping all around in there

you ought to see how the major shipping companies handle your packages

I agree, wrap them in papertowels soaked in tank water and double bag them. Why let them stew in their own juices?

I have been flying every week for a while now and I know the liquid limit is 3oz in Tampa and JFK airports.

Before then I carried on frags many times and no problems. I agree DON'T tell them you have them or else they will deny or charge extra. I would get your frags and put them in a cardboard box packed well and then put them in the cargo section. Better yet bring a carry on and then check your carry on when you come back.

The key is Pack them well and submit as checked baggage.
