Does anyone know if you can check or carry on a Boom on an airplane? Amazon shipping label had a warning, and I'd like to travel with mine.

Yes, I fly with mine in my backpack all the time, no problems. If there is something else suspicious-looking with it in your bag, I guess TSA might question it. But, then you turn it on and pair it with your phone and blow them away (figuratively speaking of course!!) with something thumpin'.

Based on my experience in my recent travels I am guessing you need to check this into the belly of the beast. There might be a place in the front if you are business class. Call your airline or take a chance. The worst case? They now offer to check it through at the boarding area. However, I am confident that even extended some this will have the guts to keep all your rods safe. Completely or nearly shut down, I expect it might get run over by a car and survive. VERY tough.

I agree with the others if you are thinking you can bring this somewhere on a plane now. Its too big and would be way too heavy.

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.

Although I saw it clearly pictured in one airport's TSA warnings (was it Spokane?) I've never been questioned about it in years. I carry so many pieces of electronic junk (chargers, cameras, etc.) that there may be a distraction factor working for me. At this point, I don't worry about it, if they take it, I can get another one. Knock wood, they'll probably confiscate it on my next flight...

You can transport the syphon in checked or carry-on once it is discharged. But the co2 cartridges can not be takes on board an aircraft. They can only be shipped by ground shipping.

This was actually a gift but I was told it works perfectly on flights if you have the hard floor space. Hope this helps you. I know my niece loves it to take everywhere.

Hello,I have heard on some rare occasions that an airline will allow this on the plane, but I would not count on that. They will be happy to gate check it for you though.Thanks!

Hello Brian , I flight from Florida (USA) to Argentina and brought it directly in the original case together with the Amazon box and some towels around it in between the two boxes. It was sent in a different despatch at the airport as a "Fragil Item" . It arrived in perfect conditions!!!! I think it's too big to try to take it on board.

I am not an expert but I would say that it would be fine to have it delivered by plane. People travel all the time and have to bring their medications, supplements etc. as long as it's not kept in extreme temperatures I think you'll be fine!

Don't know for sure but wouldn't want to take the chance that they would confiscate it. Since in can think of no reason anyone would need it during a flight I would play it safe and not take it as carry-on. Now that I think further you could loose it either way. I would check with NTSB. If it were essential that I have it at my destination I would mail it ahead. Dang! Can't depend on that either!!! Sorry.

You can carry it on the plane and put it under the seat or above in the storage compartments. Or you can put it inside your carry on bag. I would not put it in a checked bag though incase your bag comes up missing or misses your flight (I've had that happen before and we got our bags a couple days later).

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

I think it depends on the mood of the TSA agent. I was allowed to take it on board a few years ago. The agent said "I am not supposed to do this". I would say your chances are poor.

I wound up leaving it at home because it seemed a transit hazard to anyone trying to get across you to get to the aisle in coach. Don't know if the Airlines have any specific policy, but figured it wasn't worth it's weight and space in a carryon on top of being a possible hazard. Lufthansa, for ex., only allowed 18lbs for carryon on transatlantic flight, and this weighed c. 2lbs.

It's a big raft and quite heavy. Not sure you would want to take it on a plane, I honestly don't think you will ever get it back in the box either to bring it back on the plane, unless you're leaving it there. If so, ship it there....

I was worried about that as well....mainly the size, which even though small, looked as though it wouldn't fit. After I bought my first I was very concerned about that and the next time I flew (either American or United) I carefully inspected he size ......It would work. However, all the laws are changing and maybe the size inch wise would stop the problem. The overheads are definitely big enough. I understand that many professional musicians have flown with their Rees harps and it seems that they have been able to get on board. Another version of this answer is I have no proof to offer.
