You can take compliant CBD products on internal UK flights.

Keep them in original, clearly labelled packaging.

For liquids (e.g. CBD oil):
✅ Containers must be 100 ml or less if carried in hand luggage.
Place them in a clear, resealable plastic bag (the standard airport liquids rule).
✅ Solid formats such as capsules or gummies are generally simpler as they are not subject to the liquids restriction. Always follow the airline’s general baggage rules.

International Flights – Check the Destination!

You may take compliant UK CBD products on a flight leaving the UK only if the destination (and any transit countries) also permits them.

Rules vary widely:
➡️ Many EU countries apply similar low-THC thresholds (often ≤0.2–0.3%).
➡️ Some countries (parts of the Middle East, certain Asian nations, etc.) prohibit CBD entirely, even with zero THC. The UK FCDO travel advice for some destinations explicitly warns about CBD-containing products.

Always check the official government or embassy website of your destination and any transit points before packing. Airline policies also matter. Most treat compliant CBD as a standard food supplement or liquid rather than a controlled substance, but confirmation is sensible.

Practical Tips for Travelling with CBD:
1️⃣ Keep products in original packaging with clear labelling showing they are food supplements / wellness products and listing THC content.
2️⃣ Carry a recent COA if available (many brands provide QR codes or downloadable lab reports).
3️⃣ Stick to personal-use quantities.
4️⃣ For liquids, respect the 100 ml hand-luggage limit or pack larger bottles in checked baggage (sealed and protected).
5️⃣ Avoid transferring products into unlabelled containers.

These steps help avoid delays at security!

Choosing Travel-Friendly Products

When selecting CBD for travel, look for:

➡️ Clearly labelled, lab-tested products that meet the UK 1 mg controlled-cannabinoid limit.
➡️ Formats that fit hand-luggage rules (smaller oils, capsules, or gummies).
➡️ Brands that publish COAs.
