has anybody gone thru airport security with this cushion. it is a liquid inside so i would worry they would make you leave it .

there is NO liquid inside. it's a very soft plastic type material that bends and folds. i don't see how it could be a problem at airports but I haven't tried.

I agree with both points that Allhooligan made. You need to check TSA regulations - not difficult I did it not long ago. Just google "TSA regulations for air travelers."The product did a very poor job when I tried to remove a stain from upholstery.

I had no problem using the pillow. It worked great. My problem was, when you aren't using it, it has a little strap that snaps on to attach it to your luggage. This snap must have failed as it wasn't attached to my luggage after my cab ride home and I didn't notice it until after the cab pulled away.

I would doubt it but I really don't know. They won't let you carry liquid on to a plane and there is liquid sealed inside them. I would go to the FAA website and read or ask them.

I took it but didn't use it. The air France flight that I was on had its own footrests. I agree it was heavy and took up needed space in my carry on. My friend (who recommended it) swears by hers.

The warning on the pad is, "Do not sit on, or against, or crush pad..." a reasonable warning.I have wrapped it around my back, laid down on a couch and have not had any problems.For me this pad has been great. But then, I don't sit on it.

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.

Do you mean if you travel with it? I would guess that you could not carry it on the plane, but maybe it could go in your checked bag. Maybe you should ask a travel agent.

I left mine out in the weather and after a couple of years it looked pretty groady (since the cushion is nice and thick it never dried out....); keep in mind that this cushion is extra long, so if you buy one from a local retailer it will probably be too short. Another option that I used for a while is to make a simple removable cover for it, using ties rather than a zipper.

yes, I have gone through security at several US airports with the cooler, blue ice packs, and third party sealed ice bags with no problem. You don't even have to open the cooler, but I do take it out of my bag for a separate scan. Only once did they lead me aside to the explosive detection machine and put my (full) milk bags in, but they didn't bother with the ice packs.I suspect TSA sees several of these a day and knows what to expect.

Dear Traveler, I traveled on a , plane and placed the foam in my luggage. I didn't fold it in half but I did fold the edges and it was ok. No damage occured.

I've taken it on several flights, and it has gone under the seat in all planes I've taken. It bulges a lot when it's really full, but I was always able to squeeze it under enough to not draw attention from the flight attendants.

Well, you may want to pull over before using it. I have done just that. I hate to get graphic, but i pull my garment down half way, lift my derriere up off the seat, position the TravelJohn just right ,(make sure you position it or you will be stopping at a store to buy a new piece of clothing), and then i do my piece of business. The liquid tends to harden right away due to the "stuff" in the bottom of the John. Then at my next stop I dispose of the John. I LOVE these things. Being older, and loving my coffee, and driving alot, I never leave home without it, (just like my American Express card). Anyways I hope that helps.

I would think you could use this on a small plane like a Cessna etc. which is similar in size to an automobile seat but I'm not familiar with the cushion's flammability characteristics as required by FAA standards. I would guess if it's safe for a car it would be acceptable in an aircraft. I find it very comfortable and have used it in my car for several weeks now. It's not that expensive and you could always return it if it doesn't fit.

I have been through TSA at 4 different airports with this on my jacket and said nothing. Just placed it in a tub and it made it right on through. Which is sort of scary.

I travel all the time and have never had a problem. As a precaution you can also place it in a ziplock bag.

I have had mixed experiences with this. Most of the time, I have been allowed to carry it own without an issue. I have once been told I had to check it - admittedly, it was stuffed completely full and it was an international flight. I have not had a problem with it fitting in the overhead space, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you. Agree with RF Zeiss, I think it is a great carryon. It's a terrific bag.
