So, you need to pack your luggage for a plane trip. You probably hesitate about the things you can or cannot take with you. And when the matter concerns something tricky like vapes or hemp edibles, you’ll surely be baffled. The rules can vary, but in this guide, we’ll try to highlight the main principles for transporting those items.
Can You Take Hemp Vapes and Hemp Edibles On A Plane?
Vape Devices
Yes, according to our sources, you can bring vapes on a plane, however, with some restrictions.
- Your vape devices should go in your carry-on luggage, not checked baggage. That’s because lithium batteries come with a fire risk.
- E-liquids fall under the general rule for liquids — bring them in containers of 100ml (3.4 ounces) or less. All liquids combined must fit in a single, quart-sized plastic bag.
- Know if your destination country allows vapes on board — the rules can vary across states.
Hemp-derived Edibles
The key trick about hemp edibles is whether your products contain THC or just CBD. Generally, U.S. flights allowing hemp-derived edibles stick to the general rule established by the Federal Aviation Authority — the THC concentration should not exceed 0.3%. However, some companies may also employ additional rules, so check them beforehand.
But note that international travel with delta-9 products is trickier. Different countries have different laws regarding them, and what’s legal in one country might be illegal in another. My no-briner advice here: always check the rules of your destination to avoid any trouble.
5 Things You Can (And Should) Put in Your Hand Luggage
Portable Charger (Power Bank)
The case here is the same as with vapes. Put your portable charger in your carry-on baggage only — the cause is lithium battery restriction. But keep in mind that airlines also set watt-hour (Wh) limits. Usually, it will be up to 100Wh, but it’s better to check the information before your flight.
Reusable Water Bottle (Empty)
An empty reusable water bottle is fine to bring through security. Just fill it up after you pass through the checkpoint. You must stay hydrated on a flight. If you think in advance and buy the bottle, you’ll save yourself from overpriced airport drinks.
Travel-Sized Humidifier
Airplane cabins are notorious for their dry air. A small, portable humidifier on a USB plug can make your flight much more comfortable. Just remember to fill it with water once you’re on board.
Essential Oils
Essential oils can be your salvation if you get anxious or stressed on flights. You can choose lavender or peppermint oils — they show the best results for relaxation. Since they’re typically in tiny containers, they easily fit into your liquids bag.
Healthy Snacks
Now, to the tasty part. You don’t have to starve at airports — bring solid foods like nuts, granola bars, or dried fruit in your carry-on. Don’t ignore the point because good nutrition can be a lifesaver on long flights.
Now you know that airports allow quite a few things in your hand luggage — including vapes and hemp edibles. But be mindful about what you take. Enjoy these things after a flight, not before it. This way, you guarantee yourself a stressful trip.
