Can you bring fresh flowers on an airplane?

[CoolTech]

I shipped my girlfriend fresh flowers yesterday, but she is getting on a plane in the morning. Is bringing these aboard allowed? If she puts them in between her legs can she bring them in addition to her carry-on?

Seems like a pain in the ass to carry with you while in the seat and it'll likely get crushed in the compartments

From where to where? If international, she might have to trash them before disembarking.

No, TSA believes you can hide gunpowder in the flower and try to pass it on as pollen.....🙂

Depends on where she is flying to. It is illegal to bring flowers from some countries to the U.S.

Call the airline in advance? Unless you're carrying onboard a full blown boquete which may be a bother to other passengers I don't think this is an issue inside the US.

Wouldn't that kill the flowers?


....I mean, they might get crushed down there. 😉

Unless you're flying to/from Hawaii...

I operate on the assumption that I am lucky if they let me bring the clothes I am wearing on to an airplane these days.

Invasive species (flora AND fauna).

In case the OP still needs an answer: Yes you can, but there's no guarantee that they won't be crushed if you're forced to place them in a secure place. I've taken live potted plants onto planes and the TSA did not say anything.

I can confirm Yes for continental flights. My wife carried a plant from TexASS to Minnesota as a carry on item.
