An empty reusable drink bottle is allowed in carry-on or checked bags; empty it fully before the checkpoint and refill after you clear screening. Airports have one classic trap: you can bring the bottle, yet you can’t bring the drink in it. A single leftover sip can turn into a “dump it or toss it” […]

An empty insulated bottle is allowed through airport security, and you can refill it after screening for the flight. A YETI bottle is built for daily use, so it makes sense to bring it on travel days too. The snag is airport screening: a bottle that looks empty at home can still count as a

Yes, epilators are allowed in carry-on bags for most flights, and they usually pass screening like any small grooming device. You’ve got a flight, a tight bag, and one more thing to pack: your epilator. Security teams see these devices all the time, so the item itself is rarely the problem. What decides how smooth

An Elfbar can fly in your carry-on, not your checked bag, and it must stay off and unused from boarding to landing. You’re not the only one who gets stuck on this. Disposable vapes sit in a weird spot: they’re small, they look harmless, and they still carry a lithium battery and nicotine liquid. That

Yes, you can fly with a battery-powered board, but the battery’s watt-hours and whether it comes out decide what’s allowed. You’re staring at your board and your ticket, doing the math in your head: “Will they let this through?” Good news: plenty of riders travel with electric skateboards. Bad news: the battery is the whole

An electric shaver is allowed in carry-on bags on most flights, and it usually passes screening with no special steps. If you’re packing for a trip and you spot your shaver on the bathroom counter, you’re not alone. Lots of travelers toss it in at the last minute, then wonder if security will pull the

You can bring a vape in carry-on bags, not checked ones, if it’s switched off, protected from firing, and packed with liquids within limits. Airport screening feels easy until you’ve got a vape, spare pods, and a charger cable that turns your bag into a messy X-ray. Most confiscations come from three avoidable mistakes: the

Most microcontroller boards are allowed on flights, and the smoothest trip comes from smart battery packing and clean, easy-to-check organization. An Arduino board is simple to you, but to a screener it’s a small circuit board with pins, wires, and sometimes a battery pack nearby. Pack it neatly and it usually clears fast. This article

A whole, fresh apple can pass airport security in your bag, as long as it’s not turned into a liquid-like food and it clears any inspection on arrival. If you’ve ever watched a bin of snacks get pulled aside, you know the feeling. You’re standing there, shoes off, hoping your food doesn’t become “the problem”

Most airlines allow small air purifiers, but lithium batteries and size limits decide whether it belongs in carry-on or checked bags. You can bring an air purifier on a plane in most cases. The real friction comes from what’s inside the device: a rechargeable battery, a removable battery pack, a power cord, or a liquid-based
