Traveling by Air With Oil Paints
I put all my paints in a plastic bag and pack them with my luggage along with any other items that are not allowed as carry-ons. I lay my canvas panels flat in my luggage. I carry a backpack onto the plane with the rest of my painting supplies.
Be mindful that most airlines have a weight limit of 50 lbs. for luggage. Painting supplies can be heavy, so check your airline's policies and weigh your packed bags before leaving for the airport.
Proving Paint Safety to the TSA
When you are traveling by air it is a good idea to pack a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by your paint manufacturer along with your paints. Select "Search" from your pain brand's website menu and enter the term "Materials Safety Data Sheet" into the search box—it will give you a link to a pdf you can download and print. Print it out and keep it with your paints in your luggage.
