Is this thing okay to bring on an airplane? Either in the carry on or checked in baggage?

I would think yes but with the ever changing & in most cases ludicrous rules it would be hard to advise on this. One airport checkpoint may let it pass & then another throw you on the ground & have cops arrest you. It would be best to check the TSA list of banned items since it's no more than a primitive lighter....can you bring a Bic or a Zippo?

I woudnt think so but i would highly recommend you look it up on a TSA website

I believe its safe. The metal in your suitcase may very well be magnesium. Parts of the plane are likely made of magnesium. Magnesium is used in thousands of products. So I would say that its safe. I fly from S.C. to Az. to hike and camp with my son and I NEVER go out without one of these fire starters. Best for you to check with an airline to be 100% sure.

Being a person who refuses to fly, I honestly don't know. Call your airline. They can tell you. Sorry I'm not more help.

I use this as my carry on all the time, and it's fine. If you stuff it too full it may have to go in the overhead bin, but I've had it full of books, a laptop, a coat, and a purse (along with other odds and ends) and fit it under the seat in front of me just fine.

You should be able to carry it on most airplanes but you should always check with your carrier first. It is rugged enough to check as checked package for sure. Just invest in a lock.

As far as I know It can be checked in for flight. Get some kind of letter from a doctor. It comes with a sealed battery which I was told is safe for air travel.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

I would contact TSA/airline to be sure. You may be able to pack the ice pack \ in luggage that is checked. I would doubt you can bring this on the plane.

Yes, I flew with it both domestically and internationally. It'll have to go through the security scanner of course, but you shouldn't have any issues from security about it. I cannot imagine the airlines would complain since it can easily fit on top of or below suitcases in the overhead compartments, especially if you have a medical reason for needing it. But worst case they will gate-check it for free...

On a jet, yes. Not on one of those commuter planes. It looks like a duffel back when rolled up and can fit in the overhead, or at worst you can gate check it. We've traveled internationally with ours twice.

As mentioned it has been allowed as a carry on. Keep in mind that if you "Gate Check" your carry on luggage (maybe you are in group 4 or 5 on a full flight and there is no overhead storage) it may be screened and treated as checked luggage. So your battery is best to keep with you in a computer bag or backpack.

I've checked it in luggage a few times without issue. Not carry-on though. I put it in a ziplock back in case pressure were to cause any leaking, but I do that with all liquids in checked luggage.

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

I recently took this item on a trip, on the way to the destination I had it in my carry on. on the way back I had it in my checked luggage. I had no issues with the product or the airline. I flew with Delta.

Correct you will not be able to get on a plane with it/ do not check it as laugage i doubt it would make back to you

I did not check it but had it folded in my baggage before using it. Most probably it could be checked as baggage, but I personally would not do it, because everything inside is visible and easy to take out.

Absolutely. I have carried it on over 30 flights in the last year. Never a problem.

It might fit in a checked bag, but it would most likely be too tall for carry-on. It's very compact when rolled up, but the height would be the determining factor, as the poles are rigid and cannot be folded down any further.

It should be okay for it to travel as checked luggage if you have a proper hard case for it.
