Traveling with flowers is a thoughtful way to surprise someone special, whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, or a romantic Valentine’s Day gesture. The good news: yes, you can take fresh flowers on a plane. But to keep those blooms beautiful from take-off to landing, there are important airline and packing rules to follow.

If Packing Flowers on Checked Luggage

If you're planning on bringing flowers with you on a flight, the best option is to pack them in your checked luggage. When you're packing your flowers, make sure that they're secure and won't be damaged during the flight.

You should also check with your airline to see if there are any specific regulations or restrictions for bringing flowers on board.

If Keeping Flower Bouquet with Carry-On Luggage

You can bring flowers in your carry-on if you follow these steps:

• Skip the vase water. Any liquid will be flagged at security and could spill.

• Keep it compact. Your bouquet should fit easily in the overhead bin or under the seat without crushing other items.

• Arrive early. Security might need to inspect the bouquet, especially if it’s large or exotic.

International Flight Considerations

Flying abroad, maybe to deliver an anniversary bouquet? Check both your airline and the destination country’s import rules:

• Customs restrictions. Some nations ban certain plants to protect native agriculture.

• Declare your flowers. Be honest at customs to avoid fines or confiscation.
