The Transportation Security Administration created a list of items you Cannot Bring in Carryon Bag for airplane travel. Subscribers ask me all the time what is allowed on the airplane when you #travel. So this video includes 29 items you should not pack in the carryon suitcase that will go through the scanner with you and into the terminal and above your head on the airplane. When I say carryon bags, I am talking about the personal items bag that will go under your airplane seat (backpack, purse, duffel bag) and the one that will go above your head (overhead bins) inside the airplane. This video is about 29 things you cannot bring in those carryon bags.
Bug spray - The grocery stores make it look like you can can bring bug spray because they create cans that are less than 3.4 ounces. But the cans of liquid bug spray are not allowed. We use and recommend this Sunsect bug repellent and sunscreen lotion. It’s small enough and isn’t a spray liquid.
CORRECTIONS:
**Alcohol can go in checked or #carryon bags. I was reading a wrong list.
***Lithium batteries are different nowadays so check with tsa.gov or your airline.

Tell the #TSA officer if you have diabetes and that you have the insulin with you. Insulin should be pulled out and placed in the gray bins going through security.

  • @BelovedsPlace
    FYI: I brought a weight for working out in my carryon to JA no problem, then coming back got it confiscated! So you also have to think about what other countries do/do not allow! Thanks for this list!
  • Is anyone about to travel and started to watch these types of videos😂😂😂😂😂 Edit:OMG THANK U SO MUCH FOR 1.1k LIKES!!
  • @alisontunny9362
    I had my eyebrows tweezers confiscated. I obviously was going to threaten the Pilot with plucking his eyebrows to death!
  • @carolynhagge
    This could have been updated in the past couple years but I was just on TSA website and it actually shows you can bring a lightsaber in both carry on and checked bags. I laughed so hard as it gives an explanation and says "May the force be with you" at the end.
  • @salimas7979
    Thank you for clarifying “checked” bags. As for sunscreen, I wear no less that SPF 50, every single day. And I re-apply every few hours.
  • Please do NOT take live coral anywhere! Leave it in the oceans where it's needed!
  • @amelie9368
    Is it just me who watches packing bags video about 2 months and 1 week before they go away meeee
  • I love the way you explain things in a way that anyone can understand. I am a savvy traveler, but I can see where SO MANY people might misunderstand the rules — some folks don’t plan ahead.....and don’t do their research.
  • Excellent video, thanks. Years ago I used to fly regularly between Stavanger in Norway and London Heathrow. At Stavanger in the checkin there was a sign in Norwegian which roughly translated as: FISH. Do not put fish in checked baggage as if there is a delay it can cause corrosion of the airframe and a terrible smell in the hold.

    TSA website states that bug repellent can be a carry on item under 3.4 ounces as long as it is not aerosol. Lithium battery portable chargers are fine as long as they are under 100 WH (Watt Hours). SN: The Away suitcases original design has been updated and now the battery just pops out when you eject it.

    I wish I had found you before I had traveled internationally, but I did learn a lot on my own from friends and research. You have really good and informative advice on traveling. Thank you!
  • @annahall830
    I’ve been told by a TSA agent and have done it multiple times from multiple airports that you can bring alcohol in your liquids bag in your carry on. It has to meet liquid requirements and you are not allowed to drink them on the flight but you are allowed.
  • @rajun1231
    Correction. Aruba allows you to bring alcohol into the country. "Aruba Customs regulations allow incoming visitors to bring articles for personal use. Persons 19 and over can also bring in 2.25 liters of wine, 3 liters of beer, or 1 liter of liquor". I brought two bottles of our own Gin with us to Aruba. We packed it in our checked-in bags.
  • @user-ff7lb8dq7r
    I hear you, lady! As a person who works at the airport I am often asked so many questions that I don't even know the answers to.. However, thanks for the video and I will check the others you have in you channel as well! Best wishes from Bulgaria! :)
  • I always just stay super safe and don't bring tweezers scissors razors aerosol cans or anything I'm confused about. I will just go to the cheapest place that has that stuff at my destination and purchase. better than the headache !! especially if youre traveling for a week or less! chances are you probably won't even need that stuff
  • Thank you so much for making this video! This is great information for new travelers. I just came across your channel and I cant wait to watch more of your videos!
  • @pswagner
    Thanks a million. The ask TSA app is a terrific tip. Thanks for all these calmly informative videos, immensely helpful!
