I took a Camelia from Taiwan to Geneva passing trough Hong kong it was spring 94

I let the bonsai without water 2-3 days the branches become flexibles I put
a plastic wrapping around
starting from the trunk and going up and compacted as much as I could packed
inside a carton box and than inside a wheeled luggage it was about 3 ft hegh
for 2 wide it stayed there one week without damage just 1 twig broken
of course the leaves of camelia are thicker and bigger .. and serissa hates to be
deplaced
It all depends how big is it .. and I always carried the luggage with me to keep it
standing
the bonsai survived very well for 5 years than after a repotting started dying
back

Whatever you do, after your trip please remember to tell us what
you did, and if you took her, how she traveled.
