has anyone tried to bring this on a flight?

I work in health care and we have walk in metal detector, and it does set it off. I would imagine that the ones airport would be more sensitive and should set it off. Also you must place wallets,belts and everthing in your pocket in a small box for the xray machine. According to several TSA and Police Officer from the city of Orlando, Florida yes they have seen this tool and removed it.

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask

I would say yes, but if you travel by plane I can't see this getting through the TSA. Maybe in a checked bag?

Not for me... I am a frequent flier/traveler... the A&K; is stored in its leather case in my luggage... no problems in 1st year of ownership.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

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

I have not used mine on a flight, but several of the reviewers have stated that they have, so I would think that it must be.

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...

We did not try. We put it in the overhead. I do not think it would fit under the seat if it was fully packed.

I have not taken it on an airplane; only to and from the field. It is quite large; I'm guessing there would be a baggage fee.

No, not at all. We got through at least 4 security checks with no issue. I had it in my purse through the first check and when we realized it wouldn't fit on the airline we were flying (Etihad) we kept it in our carry on for the rest of the trip.

I have not attempted to carry the case onto an airplane, but I can tell you that it is the same size as the carry-on luggage that I typically take on travel. Hope that helps.

Not at all. I placed it in the carry-on and put it on when I got on the plane. No one said anything. I think they see things like this all the time.

Idk but as long as there is a usb available you should be able to. I would call to make sure that it is not on some "list" of things you can't have on a plane.

I don't think it would be suitable for airline travel unless it was packed in another box. It could withstand a good bit of weight on it, and maybe the abuse, but no locking feature and sturdier means of securing the top sliding parts make it risky to say the least.

my mother has not used it on a plane. It is light to carry and not big and bulky. If an airliner will not let you bring it on board then they should supply a means of assistance to get you to your seat.

I haven't tried it yet, but I bought it to go on an airplane. I don't see why they would not allow it. It takes regular tap water, so you could fill it from bottled water....
