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 would call the Airline you are traveling on and ask. I took it through security and didn't have any problem, but things change all the time.

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...

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 think that it is longer than is actually authorized and it won't fit in all overhead compartments. Every time I've tried, they've allowed me to carry it on and stow it in the cabin but you might have different luck.

This has a TSA lock. I know they have been able to open and then relock it based on the notification they leave when they have checked the contents.

Yes, of course you can go through airport security with this backpack! Just don't fill the water sac with water because you aren't allowed to have over 2 ounces of liquid on a plane for security purposes.

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 can not see where it would be a problem as long as it was in your luggage and not in a carry on bag. I carry mine in a quart zip lock bag but have not taken it on a flight.

I had no trouble carrying it on in the US. However, on my return trip from China, it was kept by airport security as it was considered a fire hazard.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

I don't know about taking it on the plane... but it is padded all the way around not a thick pad but enough to keep safe, I wouldn't be dropping it all the time

not sure it needs to be, we were not given any hassle by TSA. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed by its carrying ability. I don't know if I would say it was very useful.

I'd bet if you don't carry it on.. and it's definitely less than the liquid max you're aloud to carry... but since it's a fire starting device you'd have to call the airlines probably. They're changing the laws a bit, like allowing non-locking pocket knives now. and such

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

Check your With the Airline your flying with. , TSA may confiscate It Before You Board. I'm not saying its a weapon.,Lol But those Guys / Gals can be a little Crazy.

All I can say is that it is more sturdy than some cases I know are TSA approved, so it SHOULD be, but the TSA is sometimes hard to satisfy and can be fickle. They may not accept it because it uses a combo rather than a key. I'd contact the airline or TSA directly if you have any doubt.
