Has anyone tried to carry this on a plane? How did TSA security handle this item?

No, never tried to travel with them, but fair warning, but we bought 2 and the umbrellas broke off after first use, can't be repaired. Not worth the money

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

Well u could not do a carry on because it exceeds the TSA 1.5 oz capacity. But you could check it in your baggage. It's sealed. You could double bag it if you wanted extra security from leaks

No, they will not let you. But you might be able to have it in your plastic bag that you show. Check how much liquid is allowed on the flight. I have had mine taken when I have flown. So I pack it.

I used it for carry-on on an international flight. Just be prepared to open ALL the compartments for inspection.

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...

It is highly unlikely the TSA would allow it on a plane. If you put it in a case of some kind and had them put it in checked luggage under the plane then maybe. In the cabin? No way.

that is going to be completely up to the TSA employee you're working with and how familiar they are with the product. Their regulations are very ambiguous on this item. I would suggest if you want to take it on carry-on get a new one in the original packing. Thank you for the question I had to do some research

I have had zero problems carrying it on a plane. It fits under some seats, but most of the time you will have to put it in an overhead, so the only real issue is a small plane with those tiny overheads. Still, I have fit it under the seat on a CRJ, both the 200 and 700.

It would probably be possible to pack this full enough of uncompressible items that it would no longer go through the metal detectors and therefore could not be carryon. But you'd have to work at it, and probably could barely lift it. I've used it as a carryon for a roundtrip flight, there were no issues with the laptop, various bits of hardware, and a weekend's worth of clothes and toiletries.

1. Since this could definitely be used as a weapon, I wouldn't put it in the carry-on. 2. If you try, be prepared to lose it. If the TSA tries to confiscate it, tell them no problem, you fully agree, didn't even consider it might not be acceptable. 3. If one ignores the first two suggestions, be prepared to get to know a TSA agent on an intimate basis. ; )

Hi Linda,I take on the plane all the time and never had a problems the 5 or so years that I've had it. It is small enough to fit in the overhead compartment with other stuff on top of it too.

At one airport (Albany, NY), I had no problem getting through security. In fact, the TSA people told me that it was more about the individual airline's policy than TSA policy. However, on the return flight from Texas, TSA pulled the unit from my carry on bag and scrutinized it for a few minutes and then let it through.

Yes I have traveled a few times with this case on airlines without any issues. It meets TSA travel requirements. Make sure to check your carrier guidelines since they may vary, but for the most part have it in your check in baggage and notify the attendee during check in and they will provide you with a card to fill out. It is perfect for flying.

I would say yes, but if you travel by plane I can't see this getting through the TSA. Maybe in a checked bag?

I have been permitted to carry it in on flights. I followed advice I read somewhere to freeze it as solid as possible first. I don't know whether that made a difference. In any event as long as you declare it, meaning you tell the officers as you're going through security that you have it and any other liquids, they should be able to swab it and let you through. No guaranties, but I've never had a problem. Sending it with your checked luggage wouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...
