When traveling, the standard TSA rule is that you can bring containers that contain up to 3.4 ounces of liquid, and you can bring as many of these containers as you want, as long as they are individually 3.4oz or less. Most essential oil bottles are 0.5oz in size, so you should be fine to bring them aboard.
Yes! As long as your essential oils fall within the TSA 3-1-1 rule (your liquids have to be less than 3.4 ounce each, they have to all fit in 1 quart-sized plastic bag, and you can only have 1 plastic bag). If you're worried about your oils spilling, you can always bring an essential oil travel case.
Nonflammable oils include standards motor oils used in vehicles and food oils such as olive oil and corn oil. Oils in aerosol form use a flammable propellant and are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage. Liquids in carry-on baggage are further limited to 100-ml (3.4 oz) containers at the TSA security checkpoint.
Of course, you can bring whatever oils you would like in your checked luggage, but be sure to still seal them in baggies to protect against spills. Because essential oils have potent scents that may irritate others, remember not to open them while on the plane.

Guidelines for flying: If you're only bringing a carry-on bag, you can still take your oils with you (15 mL is way below the TSA limit of 3 oz.). You can only bring as many with you as will fit in one quart-size bag, however. (Remember, this is one quart-size bag per person.)
Baggage tips and restricted items
Liquid or gel food items larger than 3.4 oz are not allowed in carry-on bags and should be placed in your checked bags if possible. TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine.
Travelling with essential oils is easy – whether you are flying or driving, you can easily fit them into your carry-on luggage, backpack or suitcase. Airlines allow up to 15ml of liquids in carry-on luggage, which means you can take the 10ml bottles with you – or you can take you favourite DIY blends.
The 100ml rule for liquids The main rule to remember is that you must not take any more than 100ml of a restricted liquid into the cabin of a plane, and those liquids should be placed into individual 100ml containers. Any liquid that you need more than 100ml of should be packed in your hold luggage.

Self-defense items, ammunition and sharps Self-defense items, including ammunition, are banned from carry-on luggage and in some cases from checked luggage as well. This also includes most martial arts equipment, pepper sprays, firearms, chef's knives, corkscrews and other sharp items.
One of the biggest hurdles for travellers is the ban on liquids over 100ml at airport security. You can take liquids under 100ml but these must be in a re-sealable plastic bag that can be no larger than 20cm x 20cm and cannot exceed one litre. It's worth noting that you're limited to one plastic bag per person.
