I have two airplane trips coming up over the next 6 months. My regular perfume bottle is beyond the 3oz limit.

Any idea where I can order "travel" or "sample" sizes of perfume? FWIW, I'm looking for Viva La Juicy.

That limit is only for carry-ons. If you check a bag, you can pack things bigger than 3 oz. I would hesitate to pack perfume in any situation for fear of breakage, though!

Sephora sells little decanters you can use, but I don't know how they would hold up to air pressure.

You could also try a dropper vial like this:

Or...the cheapest route and the one I'd recommend is to go to the local mall/Sephora, chat up a perfume counter employee and get a sample or two of your fragrance. If they don't have your fragrance get something else and then empty the container, rinse, refill with your perfume. I've had bad luck with liquid spills while traveling and wouldn't want to waste a larger bottle or risk spilling it in my luggage.
