Yes, you can bring a parachute in carry‑on or checked bags; pack it separately and be present if TSA inspects it. Arrive 30 minutes early. Bringing your own parachute on a commercial flight sounds bold, yet the rules are clear. In the United States, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows parachutes in both carry‑on and […]

Yes—solid candles are fine in carry‑on and checked; gel candles belong in checked only, and flammable liquid candle fuel isn’t allowed at all. Candles make easy gifts and cozy souvenirs, but they can trip people up at the checkpoint. The rules hinge on what the candle is made of, whether it contains gel or fuel,

Yes—power banks must go in carry‑on; up to 100Wh is fine, 100–160Wh needs airline approval, and anything over 160Wh isn’t allowed. Power banks fly all over the world each day, but they don’t ride in checked bags. Airlines treat them as spare lithium‑ion batteries. That means they stay with you in the cabin, terminals covered,

Airline travel carries a tiny fatal‑crash risk; the drive to the airport is far more dangerous. If that question keeps looping in your head before a trip, you are not alone. Headlines stick. Turbulence feels rough. Strange thumps and whirs can set off alarms. Here is the plain answer: modern commercial flying is one of

No — TSA doesn’t run a public “watchlist.” Repeated screening? File a DHS TRIP redress request and add your Redress Number to bookings. What “Watchlist” Really Means At Airports Let’s clear the air fast. The federal terrorism watchlist is maintained by the FBI’s Threat Screening Center, not the airport staff at your checkpoint. Airlines send

Yes—on many airlines you may bring a carry‑on and a personal item, but some fares or low‑cost carriers allow only one small bag unless you pay. If you’ve ever stood at the gate wondering whether two bags will fly, you’re not alone. The short answer: airlines set the rules, not airport security or governments. That

Yes—Aegean checks size and weight, especially on full flights; your fare sets the allowance, so weigh bags and expect gate sizers and scale checks. Quick answer: how strict is Aegean Airlines with baggage rules? Aegean enforces the limits it publishes for size, weight, and number of items. Agents weigh cabin bags at check‑in and spot‑check

Yes—Air France enforces size, piece count, and 12–18 kg limits; Economy Basic can be small‑bag only, and staff do spot‑weigh at the gate. If you fly with Air France, you’ll see cabin rules spelled out in detail and checked in stages. The airline publishes exact sizes, total weight limits, and how many pieces each fare

Yes — AirTags are allowed in both carry‑on and checked bags when the coin‑cell stays installed; spare coin cells ride in carry‑on only. Lost bags ruin trips. Tiny Bluetooth trackers like Apple’s AirTag make bags easier to find, and flyers keep asking the same thing: can these tags fly? Short answer: yes, with a couple

No. Air traffic controllers work for the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization; TSA runs airport screening and security programs, not ATC. Short answer first, then the full picture. Air traffic control belongs to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). TSA handles screening and other transport security tasks. The two teams share airports, radios, and daily coordination, yet
