Vac Sealing Smoked Salmon ?

SWMBO wants smoked salmon for some T-Day appies.  Problem is we're flying to Phoenix...
Any issues, suggestions, watch-outs, or recommendations on vac sealing the salmon after I smoke it?  

She usually shreds it over cream cheese for dipping w/ crackers.  Should I shred and then vac or keep the filet whole and shred once we get there?

    I usually freeze it whole and a sheet pan, and then vac the solid piece the next day. Probably doesn't make a lot of difference if you're shredding it.

    Vac seal whole. Will stink up everything - so vac seal twice to hep that out. I've done it several times flying with no issues except the smell

    I double wrap in Saran Wrap, then wrap in foil. It keeps in the fridge a good long time, and the smell stays inside the foil. No telling how it would travel in checked baggage.
