Air travel with multiple eo's, herbals, etc., input please

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

Our daughter & family are moving to Hawaii in the next two weeks.

They had planned on carrying all oils, scents, & extracts on the

plane. We know that it is recommended to not send them thru the

x-ray machines, but how the heck do you get bunches of them on the

plane without mucho hassles? We recommended calling airline,

airport, etc. Even checked baggage is sent thru huge x-ray machines

now.

 

Any thoughts, recommendations would be most appreciated. Contact us

direct as we're on digest.

 

Thanks bunches,

Deb @ Swans' Nest

Hi Deb,

 

Having just gone through this, I would recommend that she carry a few

necessaries with her, but ship the rest via mail. Inside the box(es)

I would also be sure everything is labeled, just in case someone wants

to open it. Also, divide the more valuable oils up into differnt

boxes in case one gets lost - that way you won't lose everything.

Chances are, nothing will get lost.

 

Make sure you pack WELL. The boxes that got to Korea from NC had seen

some rough days, and despite my best efforts, there were a few spills.

Use electrical tape to seal all EO bottles too.

 

It seems to me that getting through security these days with EOs is

entirely up to the knucklehead who is looking at your baggage. I have

had the best luck when the oils are in the original bottles with

business labels on them - even then, well, it's to that one person.

 

Good luck to your Daughter!
