Your quilt is beautiful! It's unbelievable that it's appliqued while travelling on planes. Our customs are pretty strict about carrying scissors or any other sharp objects, but I may get around it by cutting my embroidery floss in advance and storing them in zip lock bags. I hope needles are allowed on planes though.
