29 WEIRD Items You Cannot Take in a Carryon Bag (on an Airplane)

ATTENTION: The updated videos for travel:
Updates for 2023 Travel: bit.ly/TravelUpdates2023
Flying with a carry-on? Watch this: bit.ly/NoOverheadForBag
bit.ly/WhatNOTPackWinterTrip
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.

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).

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.

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.

Laurie, when I travel to certain places in Europe, I find that often hotel linen does not include a washcloth. I like to, especially if I'm moving around and staying in lots of different places, buy a pack of really thin washcloths at Dollar Tree. I use one wherever I am, then throw it away when I am leaving one hotel for another.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That's a fabulous idea too! Thanks!

[@janreynolds3794]

Since flying last year, I’ve seen a size change in the carry on luggage. I’m having trouble finding the new size requirements of 22x14x9 or linear 45”. Many of the carry ons I’m seeing in the stores, give you the inside packing dimensions, not the outside measurements (to include wheels and handle), which is what they go by...correct? How strict are the airlines being with their size requirements?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It depends on the agent. If it's carryon size, you can get it through security. But know that the gate agent may tell you it's too large, and then they would check it right there and put it in the belly of the plane. Hope that helps, or call your airline. Thanks for watching!

[@jpinckster]

Just cant check batteries. Only on your carry on

[@Princessmom9]

I was wondering about that because cell phones have them. Thanks.

[@raymondlee3327]

Lithium batteries are allowed onboard as carry on baggage as long as they meet the following criteria: 1. a. Spare Batteries with a watt hour (wh) rating under 100wh can be brought on board in unlimited quantities. b. Maximum of 2 indivually protected spare batteries over 100wh up to 160wh are allowed pending approval by airline gate agents. 2. Batteries must be protected against short circuits. If a metal object contacts the terminals on the battery it can cause a short circuit. To prevent this from happening, put a small piece of electrical tape over both the positive and negative terminals and place the battery in a plastic bag. If the original packaging the battery came in is still available, use it! If the battery is installed in a device like a camera, ensure that the device is protected from being turned on accidentally.

Since they don’t provide an outlet to charge anything, a power bank is a MUST on a long flight. Power banks below 100Wh can be carried without approval, I believe limit 2 per passenger but in carry on only. Since pretty much every power bank is lithium, you’d be up a creek if that was the rule.

Angie Nwigwe It’s within the law and liquid limits to bring on an aircraft. There is reason why I can’t bring my own. They give you the same exact liquor sizes on the plane. I know that’s why they didn’t say anything. It’s like bringing your own candy to the movies. Who cares?

I've just checked the TSA prohibited items list and Alcohol is permited on Carry On Bags and checked bags. Alcoholic beverages Carry On Bags: Yes (Less than 3.4oz/100 ml allowed) Checked Bags: Yes Alcoholic beverages with more than 24% but not more than 70% alcohol are limited in checked bags to 5 liters (1.3 gallons) per passenger and must be in unopened retail packaging. Alcoholic beverages with 24% alcohol or less are not subject to limitations in checked bags. Mini bottles of alcohol in carry-on must be able to comfortably fit into a single quart-sized bag. For more information, see FAA regulation: 49 CFR 175.10(a)(4).

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, I was wrong. I should have put it in the description box. I was reading the one for 100% proof. I'm not sure why that would be prohibited though. Thank you!

[@peggyhazlitt1770]

I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you

Thank you for watching!

[@yourgirlfriendlllll]

Thank you for covering the insulin part I’m a type 1 diabetic and I’m so nervous to go through security because I got diagnosed 2 years ago and haven’t been on a plane since then

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Super! The tsa.gov site has a section on medical disabilities when you scroll down that would help. This video may help too: bit.ly/MedicineForTSA

[@yourgirlfriendlllll]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Yes thank you so much!

[@gavinmcgregor6840]

Great info learned alot, very professional like she might be from an airline family

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

bwahahaha

[@PurpleAmharicCoffee]

When you fly on a small enough domestic aircraft that there is no security check, and the only scanner is for your boarding pass.

[@McCrap420]

Hello, i came across your channel, and loved the video. I have a question which might sound odd, but i have a large teddy bear that is 2 feet and 8 inches tall. Is it allowed and is it put in a carry on or checked baggage, thank you.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I would go to "ask tsa" on facebook messenger. Thank you for watching!

[@fn_dr0x]

This such a helpful video

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh thank you; it's super old. I have many newer videos under my new name Travel Tips by Laurie.

[@julieochoa5342]

Thank you so much for the info...i will be traveling with a carry on for the first time in April...I have been looking for a sturdy carry on, not sure which one to pick..

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Julie, thank you for watching. Do you mean a carryon for under your seat or above your head? My links in the description box are what I use. I can tell you that I prefer the soft carryon suitcase instead of a hard one. I have had this one for probably 5 years and the exact one for 10 years before that-steel base. It's fun shopping for one though. Good luck.

[@julieochoa5342]

Hi Laurie, thank you so much for your help, I was having a hard time deciding on the overhead carry-on I am going to order the red one from the link (Amazon) I really hope I can get 8 days of clothing, shoes..etc...in this suitcase 😊 my family is placing bets already 😃 i know I can do it 😉... thank you again for your wonderful videos..

You just safe my day.

[@cindyellis765]

I travel quite a bit for the FAA and tried to pack my laptop in my checked luggage. I was told at the check in that we CANNOT put anything with a lithium battery in the CHECKED luggage because of the temperature and pressure where checked luggage goes.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for the update. We just got a puppy so I'm taking a few weeks break btw. Thanks for watching!

[@Angel-wv8vl]

Thank you I’ve been looking for something like this

It is super old; here is an updated one: bit.ly/ProhibitedTSA

[@wumingkkk]

Or use military grade mosquito repellent. They do sell in tube form. Shaving foam is also not allowed ....

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yep; and I'll have to look for military grade. Thank you so much for watching! Safe travels...

[@wumingkkk]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie You too!

[@wildflowersmile3224]

...so what you are saying is my brass knuckles and 6-pack of bud is a no go? Darn.

[@j.sterling9167]

I used to work the inside terminal security when it was done by commercial contractors back in 1996 and although we were paid rather poorly and also had to pay for half a parking permit monthly, I can say with no doubt we saw many strange things under x-ray (black & white) but never had anything illegal got into the terminal because they tried to get it past our people. Despite lousy pay were were tested regularly with test pieces, passed the tests and were motivated to perform the job well.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That's awesome. And you had to put up with alot of rude people as well I bet. Thanks for watching.

[@j.sterling9167]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Actually they were more respectable than these persons I've seen on some of these videos, most were quiet and some were real amusing characters

[@griseldarichero6014]
