Is this safe to be carried on an airplane? I live in India and want my friend in the US to carry it. Wondering if it is a problem in checked baggage?

I have carried this on many airplanes already in SE Asia. The bag weighed between 15-20kgs each time. The only time I could not was when I was going from one island to another and the plane carried around 50 passengers.

Definitely ok in checked luggage. As for carry on, it looks according to the TSA approved list - http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items

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 I wouldn't recommend that you put it in a carry on luggage, if you managed to fit it in, which I don't think it would, chances are it would break in the handling of your luggage on the plane.

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.

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

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.

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 might be better off shipping it to your destination. It is too big to carry on so if you have to pay for checked bags, just mail it instead.

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.

I bring my gun on the plane haha so yeah I would say yes it's safe, but might not be able to bring as carry on

Heck no you cannot carry it on an airplane. I wouldn't fit if you bought it it's own seat. You could probably check it if you paid. The box is at least 3ft tall

I would imagine there would not be a problem taking it on a plane as it takes up less room than a pair of crutches. However, I am not 100& sure. I have not seen nor do I know any bag available for this item. When closed, the velcro strap holds it very securely. I have used mine & it is very comfortable & sturdy. I hope that I have helped you in your queations.

Can't take it on the plane as carry on but no problem with checked in luggage as told by TSA. Tried it with a cheap crimper and got confiscated. No big lost.

According to the Transportation Security Administration, you can have one in your checked luggage, but NOT in your carryon bags. It is one of several "Martial Arts/Self Defense" items that are prohibited from carryon luggage.

I have carried it on the plane many, many times. I've even checked the TSA website and it is okay to carry on. I always put the cartridge in my liquids bag though. I don't know how long the cartridge lasts, but it seems like it lasts forever. I've used mine once a week (We have a long drive to church.) and every time I travel or camp for two years. It is about 3/4 gone.
