Hand carrying your essential oils on a plane is not as simple as it once was. Since 2006, when liquids on-board a flight first became known as a possible threat to passenger safety, government agencies at first banned all liquids to be carried on board planes, and then changed their restrictions to allowing for small amounts of liquids to be carried on a flight.

The simplest way to take aromatherapy with you on-board a flight currently is to avoid these restrictions altogether and to just take essential oils that have already been absorbed into a tissue, wipe, handkerchief or cotton ball where they can be taken out and inhaled or used to wipe down a surface as needed.

If you need to carry the essential oils or other liquids on the flight, you can place essential oils in smaller 5 ml, or 5/8 dram glass vials and larger containers for oils you will use more often. You can also place lotions, soaps, shampoo, conditioners, and other personal care liquids, creams, and gels in smaller 1 oz. or 2 oz. containers. Just be sure that your bag is closely secured to avoid leakages.
