Truly Tropical did a little video experimenting with mango scion viability under different time/temp conditions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEIATEPT0cMI can't recall exactly what the results were, but I generally think anything over a week old (even if wrapped properly) is facing an uphill battle to take.
All depends on packing and temperature. If you could keep them cool in an ice chest it would help a lot. But 3 weeks is too much for most. If you could cut the time down to 2 weeks you could have a lot of success. You might also want to practice grafting before you make the trip.

Two weeks may well be possible. It all depends on the program of other family members!... and getting the supplier to ship them close to the day of travel. Definitely food for thought! Do you think this is true of most fruit species? or just mango?
