Planning to take this on a trip.... will this pass through TSA in carry-on bag, or will it need to be checked in?

Being a metal rod would not be a problem as it's completely dull. Being filled with a gel would be. I imagine it has nearly double the allowable volume per container and could not fit in a quart sized bag.

Your best bet would be to take it out of the box and put into your checked bag, then split clothes and other things between checked bag and your carry on.

I did not check it but had it folded in my baggage before using it. Most probably it could be checked as baggage, but I personally would not do it, because everything inside is visible and easy to take out.

In your carry-on you should have no issue. You cannot put most batteries in checked baggage though.

As mentioned it has been allowed as a carry on. Keep in mind that if you "Gate Check" your carry on luggage (maybe you are in group 4 or 5 on a full flight and there is no overhead storage) it may be screened and treated as checked luggage. So your battery is best to keep with you in a computer bag or backpack.

As far as I know It can be checked in for flight. Get some kind of letter from a doctor. It comes with a sealed battery which I was told is safe for air travel.

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.

Per TSA website: "You may transport this item in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage. For items you wish to carry-on, you should check with the airline to ensure that the item will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the airplane."

I can see no reason why you couldn't check it in your bag/suitcase. However there is a number you can call in Michigan and ask them directly. It is listed in the further information area.

No it needs to be checked as a bag. It will count as one of your baggage totals.

I've taken it in my luggage twice with no issues. Can't take on the plane in your carry on bag or in a pocket.

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 recently took this item on a trip, on the way to the destination I had it in my carry on. on the way back I had it in my checked luggage. I had no issues with the product or the airline. I flew with Delta.

I purchased two to take with us to Soth Africa and Botswana.I gave one to my wife and kept one. On the flight tp South Africa mine leaked a black oily substance onto my clothres in my checked bag. On the flight back it leaked a white viscus gel. Wiser by my firest experience I placed it in a plastic bag to protect my clothes.My wife had no problem with heres. That may be because se kept hers with his in her carry-on bag. Both worked and I'd have no reservations about buying one unless you plan to fly with it.

I am afraid it will not fit into a regular luggage, but perhaps you can put it into a special box and check in. It comes with a bag which you can use for travelling.

Since we are not using it as luggage, I don't know if it meets tsa carry on standards. I would say you might check with Zuca as to their actual claims.

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.
