My wife is flying back from San Antonio this weekend and wants to bring me back a souvenir coral from a lfs there. Can anyone suggest how is she fly back with that? It's about a two hour and 15 minute flight . I don't know what she's bringing though.
 
I bring frags home using an insulated thermos or two that I put in my luggage. I've had good luck with that, but it does limit the size of what you can get.
 
You should be fine bringing it back in a sealed cup or bag. Just make sure you put it in a checked bag for under the plane. If you try to carry it on they will take anything over 4 ounces.
 
Yes, checked luggage, not carry on. You can get a wide-mouth insulated thermos at Target fairly inexpensively.
