Re: [ccp4bb] dry shipper on airplaine

[Ronnie Berntsson]

In my experience it is still possible to do so, but that rather  
depends from where you are flying. From my own experience it is always  
good to contact the airport in question well in advance, partly to  
check with them that it is ok, partly to let them know when you intend  
to fly. This tends to work well with airports in Sweden, but less well  
in other countries. I know of one occasion when a dewar was stopped on  
Schiphol, Netherlands, even though it had gone through security (the  
captain of the airplane said no..). Bringing it back home from ESRF  
(eg flying from Lyon) rarely poses any trouble, they seem to be used  
to dewars.

Cheers,
Ronnie

Dear all,

I wonder if it would be still/again possible to check in a dry  
shipper for a
flight inside Europe. What is your experience?
