I am having a friend bring this to me overseas. How could I have her bring it in her checked luggage rather than carry on for a 2 day journey?

2 Tbsp is took much. 1 Tbsp would be easier. Transporting in check-in luggage is easier than in carry-on. X-ray doesn't hurt it at all. I brought with me on several 48-hour flights, and nothing has changed. It still multiplies as normal. I put the grains and a cup of milk in a 4-cup canning jar--air tight. It's didn't pop because there's plenty of air volume in the jar, and the build-up pressure is below that for breaking the jar.

I am guessing air travel has the same impact as mailing from a post office to out of state, as usually at some point it is on a plane. I've successfully mailed active grains to friends out of state twice now. I packed the grains in cool milk, place in a baggy, and expressed all of the air. I then wrapped the baggy with a couple paper towels, just in case of a little leakage (never happened so far). I then put just a bit of bubble wrap in it and placed in a small mailing box (smallest flat rate box at USPS). It is ultra protected, and always arrives in good shape. I always have put the entire package in the fridge the night before I shipped, of course it was summer then, so I believe that was helpful. 2-3 days later they arrived at their destination just fine. Should be just fine in your friends baggage, whether on board or carried on.

Well, I purchase this product for my friend who lives oversea; therefore I did not open the box. However, it seems easy to carry around while you are traveling.

It comes in a hard suitcase like carrying case and it is heavy & bulky. Probably better to take it with you.

It comes in a box, there's a little bit of assembly. The box if fairly big, so it might not fit into your luggage.

you can take the bag on the plane as a carry on the problem with that is if somebody stuffs their carry on into the same compartment, you may risk damaging your unit.

Do you mean if you travel with it? I would guess that you could not carry it on the plane, but maybe it could go in your checked bag. Maybe you should ask a travel agent.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

Sorry I don't know the answer to this question. I have never placed it in checked luggage.

It can be packed in a carry-on type suitcase. It breaks down into several smaller sections.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

It is not shipped in it's carry bag. We found that if you leave it in the carry bag it retains a rolled shape and is compressed. We took it out of the carry bag to make sure we did not permanently damage it by leaving it in the carry bag. It would probably be ok to send it overseas compressed as long as it is not stored that way in my opinion.

hopefully you don't find offense in in my comment but that's about funny, you're talking a few feet length because of the pieces that make up the sides of the frame, it won't fit in luggage, if it does fit in some kind of abnormally huge luggage i'd be more than happy to buy a round of margaritas for us and laugh about it......besides i don't trust the baggage handlers with my old dirty underwear much less a huge screen....lol.

It came in a box about 2'x3', which then it was in plastic. So my guess would be that you would have to take it out of the box then place in a large suitcase. It squishes pretty good then goes right back into shape. Hope that answers your question.

Info on the dimensions should be on amazon website...It is too big to put in checked luggage.unless you put it in a box.

i can't give U a simple Y or N 'cause: (1) i did not try to take it aboard the plane in my carry-on & (2) re the suitcase I checked, the "thing" was empty as I did not fill it until i arrived in south america where i filled it prior to boarding the cruise ship (which does not allow "spirits" 2 B brought on-board. it went through the ship's version of TSP just fine because they did not do a full body scan nor a pat down and it was in my jacket pocket & I was not required to send my jacket through the scanner. nevertheless, i thick the quality of the "thing" looks fine & i had no problem with any leakage, so I plan to use it again and again. suggestions: put the "thing" in your carry-on & not on your carry aboard luggage as i don't think it would make it through an airport TSP check, which only allows a max of 4 oz; consider filling it only 1/2 full to minimize any loss due to discovery; wait to fill it until U R at your destination & not boarding a plane but rather a cruise ship or attending a concert or whatever, and don't put it in your backpack which is more likely to be searched than your jacket or crotch or whatever. hope this helps a tad. abe

I traveled with mine in my checked luggage, no problems! Follow the directions included and you're good to go.

I don't have this level of product knowledge. I personally would feel comfortable traveling domestically with this unit in checked bags. I don't have any information regarding international travel.
