I was throwing the idea around about attending the Tamiami Festival in May this year and was wondering if you purchase plants and/or flasks are you able to fly them back on a commercial airline?? Checked luggage? Carry on?

Yes! I have flown commercially and have both carried on and in my luggage.
Excellent, glad to hear there will be other ST members there. Anyone else attending??
Consider my advice on carry on from the POE and have the vendor(s) send them to
you via FedEx two day. I lost everything I bought flying home and changing planes
from Cinci to Lexington.

at the last time I attended Redland in 2019, UPS had a booth where you could sign in your plants and they would pack and ship. All plants arrived in excellent condition. So don’t know about Tamiami
That is a great idea…

Sad that I doesnt live in the States, you have so many great exhibitions and festivals with so many fantastisk Orchids, and so many nice warm Places to grow the slipper Orchids without having to use heat systems, don't tale me wrong, Denmark is a nice place to live in and my birth nation, but regarding Orchid growing, the artificial heat and light needed is expensive so Orchid growing can be a struggle and the people having this hobby is not many, although there is some, but I Envy your beautyful Orchids and environmental Places, in this regards you have awesome conditions

Now, imagine living in tropical Central America or Asia!!!
For anyone that might be attending Tamiami…I contacted a representative for the event, he said they have tried to get UPS and/or FedEx to have a booth at the event and as of now neither one will ne attending.
It’s coming up! Next week!
Who’s going again (besides me)?
