Has anyone ever brought this as a carry on item on a plane? I'm afraid to check it with my checked luggage.

It should be okay for it to travel as checked luggage if you have a proper hard case for it.

Suggest you get a ruggedized case and get a bright color so you can see it quickly at luggage pickup. I have one and it also allows for two TSA approved locks. However, you have to carry your batteries with your carry ons. If you wrap them in saran wrap and put them in a lipo safety charging bag, you shouldn't have any TSA problmes.

I have not tried it as a carry-on, but it is smaller than other items that I've taken to a plane as a carry-on.

Don't see why you couldn't check it in with baggage but not a chance as carry on.

I haven't, though I know they will MORE THAN LIKELY take it from you . Because apparently plane jackets are using sporks and nail clippers . Regardless, I wouldn't chance it . Be safe; leave it in your checked bag .

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.

I've been carrying it on airplanes.....haven't had anything mentioned about it, however I'm in Alaska no telling where you are from. Best answer......if in doubt ask your airlines

When we traveled with my mother's rolling walker the airline took it right at the door to the plane, like a baby stroller, and brought it back when the plane landed. Perhaps you should contact the airline? It certainly can be checked baggage.

i can't give U a simple Y or N 'cause: (1) i did not try to take it aboard the plane in my carry-on & (2) re the suitcase I checked, the "thing" was empty as I did not fill it until i arrived in south america where i filled it prior to boarding the cruise ship (which does not allow "spirits" 2 B brought on-board. it went through the ship's version of TSP just fine because they did not do a full body scan nor a pat down and it was in my jacket pocket & I was not required to send my jacket through the scanner. nevertheless, i thick the quality of the "thing" looks fine & i had no problem with any leakage, so I plan to use it again and again. suggestions: put the "thing" in your carry-on & not on your carry aboard luggage as i don't think it would make it through an airport TSP check, which only allows a max of 4 oz; consider filling it only 1/2 full to minimize any loss due to discovery; wait to fill it until U R at your destination & not boarding a plane but rather a cruise ship or attending a concert or whatever, and don't put it in your backpack which is more likely to be searched than your jacket or crotch or whatever. hope this helps a tad. abe

I have not. Whether it would be suitable or not would depend on what you are putting in carry on.

that is going to be completely up to the TSA employee you're working with and how familiar they are with the product. Their regulations are very ambiguous on this item. I would suggest if you want to take it on carry-on get a new one in the original packing. Thank you for the question I had to do some research

Yes it has been allowed as a carry on. Last trip was to D.C. No problem, was slipped into a pocket in a backpack carry-on.

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.

Sorry I don't know the answer to this question. I have never placed it in checked luggage.

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.

No, I have not. IF the TSA is diligent enough to find it, they will probably keep it just 'cause...but if it is in carry-on and going thru x-ray, I would make sure it is oriented to "obviously" be a spork and NOT oriented to look like a slim piece of metal. Don't bury it in your bag in case there's a question(outside pocket of ur pack and handy (in case they want to inspect)...OR...completely bury next to any other metal in your pack so they can't differentiate it from other metals. If it's checked luggage, it won't matter.

I have had a similar one for years, traveled extensively with it via airplane, and never had it given a second glance. I keep it in a computer bag. TSA is basically lame but it benefits me.

This is too big to be used as carry on. You can use it for checked luggage. I have travelled internationally with this and checked in this bag.
