Hello! I'll be traveling on my first long-haul flight to China, and I have a few concerns/questions about how to properly store my lenses, as I won't be wearing them during the flight itself

• I'll be placing the larger cleansing and soaking solution bottles in my checked baggage, but how should I properly store the lenses themselves? I was planning on using the pill-shaped bottle that's normally provided with the overnight soaking solution, and then putting it in either a Ziploc bag or an actual pill-bottle to prevent spillage. But I've also heard horror stories of the change in air pressure/temperature causing the lenses to stick to the case and break; is that a worry I should be concerned about?
• I've also heard that hydrogen peroxide isn't allowed in carry-on bags, but the soaking solution I'm currently using is 3% peroxide. Is that something I should declare at TSA, or would it be better to just put the lenses in a cleansing solution and wait until I arrive in China to change out the solutions?
• Is there anything in particular that I should keep note of and prepare before my flight, other than the two points listed above?

Thank you so much for the advice!

I'm going to China for the first time! I'll be going to Fujian, Henan, and Beijing this summer, and I already have my visa, flight, and passport information sorted out. All that's left is packing, setting up my electronics, and getting through the flight itself. If anyone has any general tips, tricks, know-hows, or recomendations on how to prepare, that would be greatly appreciated : )
