Suggestion: Purchase an eye care / contact lens kit. I don't wear contacts by the way. Empty contents, sterilize and reload bottle(s). Check in luggage and forget about it. Put GH in Viseen bottle after constituting it. Place everything in zip lock bag. Always mail though if you can - needles and all. If staying at a hotel call them and tell them you are expecting mail and they will gladly hold your package.
No don't do it brother. The only thing I've done is put some orals in my acid reducer bottle and that worked but I wouldn't try to take any liquids you could end up in cuffs.
I'm thinking of trying to fly with my oils,I'm looking for any advice. Thought I could pull it out the vials put it in ziplock bags and stuff it in my shaving bag with all my bathroom things in my check the bags.
I've pre-loaded what I've needed and put it in my toiletries bag in my checked in luggage on flights and cruises.
Using the plug keeps the profile of the syringe smaller (easier to carry), prevents air from getting in and oil getting out via the needle(due to elevation changes), and helps to keep the plunger from accidentally being depressed.
To hedge against external contaminants and potential leaks I put the syringe in a snack size zip lock bag with most of the air squeezed out.

One more thing,how long ago did you fly with your gear?
less than a year ago.
Sounds good,thanks for your help.
not to change topic, but any of yall fly with orals?
seems like i could just stick them in some sort of random cold med bottle.
this a bad idea?
Yes I've put orals in my acid reducer bottles but it was mixed with the acid reducers. Didn't have any problems. The were pretty close to the shape of the acid reducers. I could tell that my bag got checked but nothing was missing.
AnonI have carried on my orals and wouldn't trust them to go in my checked baggage.. I've done it on multiple flights. I placed them in one of my script bottles and I only took enough for the trip. There should be no reason for them to check them especially if it is placed in a script bottle (that is yours) and it is relatively small.
It would depend if your flying domestic or international.
and NEVER as carry on.
AnonI don't let them out of my sight, none of meds are out of my site. What if they lose my bags? As far as oils, I plan my pins around travel since I refuse travel with them.. too risky. If you are staying any length of time somewhere, I have been told to mail them to myself .. just a thought .. not one I like either.
AnonI like the mailing option or in your checked bags. Often my gear comes in foil lined paper so perhaps foil wrapped in your checked bags?
HAVENT WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE.???? all depends on how long you are going what you need and all that but yea check it dont carry on.
Like what was stated, if you can mail it. Do it. If you can't mail it DO NOT put your gear in your carry on. If you have to travel with it you should keep it in a checked suitcase.
Mix it with your bathroom stuff. Have done this with no issues. If you put it in your carry on the TSA will flag it. For starters it is a liquid.
If you have script that might make a difference on the Test, phone TSA, the other oils, unless relabeled would cause a problem, so would a shitty relabeling job, just think, these people are trying to make you have a bad day. I have never once seen a positive story about them.
Headlines::: TSA agent saves child from fall on escalator, he then proceed to pat down the child in front of her protesting parents, the parents and child had just got off a flight from L.A.
Honestly I don't want to mail it and run the risk of something happening to it. I do have a prescription for Test cyp. But other things NoT. I guess I figured diabetics traveled with insulin so what the hell. But I guess they wouldn't lock me up for insulin.
As checked, you run the risk of some ape out back conficating it for his own,..................those damn dirty apes (LOL @ tread).
"Carry on" would definetly be a No No, hiding it could draw more attention on an X-ray.
Can you mail them to your destination ??
AnonBest idea going Bro!!
