Can You Take CBD Oil on a Plane? Travelling with CBD

CBD is on everyone’s lips for its relaxing effect and is consumed regularly. So it makes sense that you don’t want to do without your favourite CBD product on holiday either. With CBD, traffic jams on the motorway or delayed flights should no longer be a problem at all. But wait – am I even allowed to travel with my CBD? Can you take CBD oil on a plane, and is that legal? In this blog article, we tell you what you should bear in mind when travelling with CBD.

Is travelling with CBD legal?

It depends! We cannot give you a clear answer to these questions, as the regulations on the use of products containing CBD depend on the respective destination. When travelling within the EU, you can largely assume that travelling with CBD is legal and should not be a problem, as long as the THC limit is below 0.2%. In Austria this limit is even 0.3%. We therefore advise you to find out exactly what the current legal situation is at your destination before you set off. In countries such as the Netherlands or Switzerland there are the fewest problems, as cannabis has been largely decriminalised there. In general, it also applies to states of the Schengen Agreement that taking CBD with you should in principle not be a problem.

What about travelling to countries outside the EU?

As a general rule, if the cultivation, consumption and sale of cannabis products containing THC are prohibited in a country, you should not enter it with CBD products. There are hardly any uniform regulations, so you always have to find out individually before your holiday. In the USA, for example, each state has different rules. In Canada, the same rules apply as in Austria. Tip: you are most likely to find the most important information at the respective embassy or consulate.

Can you take CBD oil on a plane?

For many people, CBD is a natural alternative to conventional remedies and therefore indispensable on long journeys by plane. But before you board a plane within Europe with your CBD product, there are a few precautions to take:

Find out whether CBD has been legalised at your destination
Make sure your product is in intact packaging
Take the receipt and, if possible, a certificate with you (in case you have to provide information about the product, the place of manufacture etc., it is handy to have everything with you straight away)
Check that the capacity limit is not exceeded (applies to all liquids in hand luggage)

Travelling with CBD: advantages

Now that we have clarified whether you can travel with CBD at all, we would like to tell you why we believe that CBD can be a help when travelling. CBD is known for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and, above all, calming effect. Long car journeys, heat or flight delays can cause the odd moment of stress. This is where CBD comes into play! So that you are the picture of calm on the journey itself, we advise you to take CBD beforehand. Of course, you can also consume CBD during the journey, provided this complies with the regulations, for example to sleep better during the flight or the drive. At this point we recommend our vegan CBDattels. They are handy and a healthy snack in between meals.

Many people suffer from a fear of flying. CBD can help here too and calm and relax you. You decide on the dosage and the product yourself. When travelling with CBD, we recommend an oil or even a serum. Our CBDeus serums are water-soluble and very practical on the go. They only hold 10ml, which means you can easily take them in your hand luggage. With CBD flowers, on the other hand, there could be unpleasant mix-ups, for example.

The most important points about travelling with CBD at a glance:

Find out about the current legal situation at your destination
Make sure that the THC content of the CBD product really is below the limit (visibility of the label, certificate of analysis)
Take the product’s receipt with you (for information)
If you don’t need the product during the flight, it is better to put it in your checked luggage
CBD oil in hand luggage must not exceed the total capacity limit and must be stored in a resealable bag
