Additionally, once the crystals are ready for the trip, remember to place a 
heat sink in with the samples.  Planes and tarmacs are seldom at room 
temperature.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Transport of capillaries
  

You do have to worry about transporting crystals in capillaries by air due to 
changes in cabin pressure, etc. Marc Whitlow developed a nice device to 
transferring a capillary of pre-mounted crystals.  See the attached article:

J. Appl. Cryst., 29, 204-205 (1996).
