Just checking my carry on baggage allowance for my flight tomorrow and I read this on WestJet...(They are the heaviest of metal) In addition to the carry-on baggage allowance, the following items are also permitted: Blood Up to two litres of blood intended for personal use will be accepted as carry-on. Blood for non-personal use must be shipped as cargo. Blood must be packaged in either plastic vials with screw-top lids taped shut, single-use vacuum collection tubes, or sealed plastic bags (preferably double-bagged). As blood is handled as a perishable item, it must be packaged in a leak-proof container that is resistant to vibration or damage (such as a cardboard-enclosed StyrofoamTM box ice chest) with cold packs for cooling, and the container must then be single or double strapped with tape, string or elastic bands. Airport security screening may request a letter issued by an authorized agency to confirm that the blood is non-infectious. Infectious blood samples are not accepted for transport. If you are travelling internationally, it is your responsibility to confirm acceptance guidelines with customs at the destination country.
