Frags as Checked Luggage
Does anyone have experience with checking frags/small colonies as luggage on a commercial flight? I'm thinking about bringing a few things back home on a domestic flight in either a cooler or an insulated box and checking it as baggage. I've checked the airline in question (Southwest), and their website indicates that live animals are not permitted. However, they also indicate that perishable food like seafood and live lobster are okay, provided they're properly packaged. I know it will also depend on the person at the check-in desk, so what they tell me ahead of time isn't really determinative. Just wondering what the experiences of others have been. Several searches didn't turn up much in the way of results.

I've done this several times on the fly since the new airline regulations. I usually leave out any air to prevent sloshing and use several bags of course. I also try make the bag not so full so it can take changes in pressure without popping. DOnt forget to insulate and plan for cold or hot weather.

Why dont you overnight ship them to your house the day you leave for your flight? Then you can get them the next day in the mail.

That was actually my first thought. I'm supposed to be leaving Sunday. I will probably change my ticket to Monday, and overnight them to myself for Tuesday delivery. As much as I'd love to have them go with me on the plane, I don't want to run the risk of being told by the baggage folks that it's not allowed. Wish I hadn't found such cool pieces on this trip to Fla......
