Hello everyone!
I have a major dilemma.
I'll be traveling to the Bahamas for spring break and i want so badly to bring by tail, here's the problem... my fluke is huge, like bigger than the length of my arm.

How would I carry this? It's a plastic one so it can't be folded, and I will carry it around by hand if I have to, but I'd prefer not.
Also, has anyone else had experiences with traveling with a tail? Please tell me below! I'm soo nervous!
(I added a photo of my tail pre-paint so you guys can see how big it is, the photo doesn't do it much justice, but it is quite large.)

There are some mermaid tail carrying bags sold online, maybe you could check those out.

Art portfolio bags. There are even pockets that you can keep other things too.

Carry on? Oh no, my monofin is much too big ^^ It fell under sport equipment and got taken down to cargo seperately. Worked fine though. No damage at all.
