Has anyone flown with these? Are they leak-resistant in an airplane situation?

I fly with 2 of them every week and have not had a problem. But the contents in them is more thick than thin. If I leave them in my checked suitcase I put it in a plastic bag. Overall, no leaks yet!!

They get hard but they do flex due to the "quilted" design, not quite foldable though. I purchased for airline travel myself, checked baggage and no problems- not sure if they would fly as carry on as they are a "liquid/gel" when thawed which would be over the 4oz limitation. Hope that helps!

Yes they are leakproof. We've never had a problem. I carry one in my purse. HOWEVER, folks are right about the caps. a few of mine are starting to crack, possibly from over tightening. I'm going to get replacements caps because the bottles are excellent.

They haven't leaked but they did develop bubbles. But still usable. I always put them in zip loc bags just in case

Yes filled them up 3/4 full then squeezed the liquid to the top and screwed on the cap so there was no air in the bag. We had no issues with leaking in our bags on the plane.

Nope, I haven't encountered any trouble with leakage and I've been using these water bottles for years. I throw them in my bag all the time. The black caps have rubber rings on them that block any water from seeping out.

I own one and No, it is not water resistant. It is a great piece of clothing for airline travel as it doesn't count as a carry-on; at least, not yet.

I have used them on planes before. They work well especially if you are near the rear of the plane. I usually wait for my ears to adjust to cruising altitude before putting them in.

My experience was that they were only leak proof if they remain total upright. I had so many things leak out of them including yogurt if they fell over!

I have never had one leak. We use for lunches. I have taken them on carry on luggage.. I guess a thermos is another possibility.

absolutely. That is what I purchased them for. I use them all of the time on the plane.

I would think it would be ok but I am not positive. They are awesome and well made. I have used mine several times but I have never used them on the plane.

I put them in a ziploc in case they leaked but didn't put them in my liquids bag when going through TSA, had no problems.

I strongly advise against the use of these for the purpose you suggested, if your flight is medium to long haul. Like all noise protection devices, these are heavily sprung for the reason of better noise dampening. The pressure on ear would be painful with increased time (&gt;2 hours) . Full rounded cups would be more comfortable (like pilots wear, racing pit crew, airport staff, etc..). Perhaps occupational types are better suited for your needs.

I have had pretty good results with my safari on flights. I usually tuck them in a ziplock bag though, just in case. I definitely wouldn't leave it in a good shirt pocket or anything like that. Just asking for trouble. But that said, I've been on dozens of flights over the last six years since I bought my Lamy and had zero leakage events from flying.

nope! my kids have been taking them to school in their bookbags and tossing them in the car and AS LONG AS THEY ARE LATCHED, they don't leak AT ALL!

Yep, leak proof and I used it on my flights from Honolulu to Virginia. No leaks even with the pressure build up on the plane! Even my old original flat lid leaked on my last trip. This one didn't leak a drop!
