Transporting workout supplements in both cabin and checked luggage
I have some isolate protein powder, hemp fibers and some pills (CLA to be more exact) - all bags opened, but resealable. They're part of my current diet and I don't really want to discard them, neither to buy another piece of each when I get to my destination. I'll have to do multiple flights from Bucharest to Honolulu using 2 reservations and I'll carry two bags - a backpack and a small carry-on:
- the first one, a Ryanair flight from Bucharest to Milan - since I'm allowed to take two cabin bags, I did not purchase a checked bag.
- the second one, a Alitalia flight from Milan to Honolulu - here I'll check the carry-on bag;
Now, my dillemas are:
- can I keep the above mentioned supplements in my carry-on during my first flight (via Ryanair), or it'll not pass security and I'll have to dump them - in which case I'd better just check-in the bag.
- if I check-in the carry-on bag in which I'll deposit the supplements, can I still have problems with them regarding US Customs?
Best Answer
I am pretty sure those are fine since they're supplements and not liquids/hard drugs. In some airports in europe, you may have to put medications in a separate clear plastic bag to go through security but I think that usually only applies to prescription meds.
