Question

can you check it on or carry it on?

im flying continental

Answer 1

I suppose you could include in hand luggage since it's not liquid, but the security check people might count it as an agricultural hazard and not permit this.

Answer 2

You can check it with baggage, but I would expect difficulty carrying it on.

Answer 3

I mean, they"ll start to have this giant speech about it and it will hold up the line. If you're putting it in carry on, they will probably sniff it and if it's "foreign sand " (lol) they will confiscate it.
