Can I bring my massage gun thru TSA?
I hope packing all of my random vitamins inside of a Ziploc bag in my checked luggage flying into Lima, Peru won't be a problem 😬
Hoping to go to New Zealand in a few months. With a CPAP machine and an electric wheelchair
Hello, what is the rule for inhalers?
Where I Can carry my iPhone Chargers , and I pad .
Will the Body Scanner pick up my Testicular Implant? Will I be frisked searched?
My first flight was was in the very early 50’s ! We, my mother and I “ dressed” up to travel! No TSA, no checks! Just pack and go! Onboard no jets just prp planes! Women in furs, men in suits! I was always the only child! Food was served formally, with proper cutlery. Fine 🍷 wine! It was a DIFFERENT time completely! FABULOUS!!
You are beautiful 😍
Do you ever actually fly, or just dispense disinformation on YouTube?
F*cking bastards
I'm trying to figure out your accent but I can't. Does anyone know where she's from?
The topic sounds dry until you are delayed at the airport because you don't know the ins and outs laid out in this video! Thanks! This is so helpful.
Kenya does not allow any plastic bags. You can be fined or arrested if you have any with you.
So u can’t put meds/vitamins in a checked bag 😂😊🤨🤨😉😉😉😉😳😳😳?????
Switzerland in Dec 2025
Why do I now feel like I'm taking a greyhound bus when I go to the airport and get onto a plane?
T2D to Viet Nam from US w/prescriptions, insulin and GCM plus COPD inhaler.
Can we put shampoo, toothpaste, etc in our checked baggage? Seems easier
How about sunscreen? Would that fall under the same as OTC lotion like CeraVie? This is a great video!
I will be in the middle of of chemotherapy when I fly next. Will I have to remove my head cover at security?
TSA rules are purposely broad and harsh. They are also screening for drug enforcement, though this is not their jurisdiction. From top to bottom, they often appear to be enjoying their power to control citizens… with little to no human kindness or understanding. Just bow to their dominating power – you have no choice.
I have to use prescription tretinoin for melasma and hyperpigmentation, and the doctor recommended a tinted sunscreen. It's not a prescription, but because she recommended it – can i include it in my medical bag?
If you have a lot of medications etc. it is a little known rule that you can carry an extra bag just with medications it it. That way it does not take up valuable space in your personal bag. I put all my medications in a separate bag and attach a medical tag on it. I tell the gate attendant I have an extra bag with medications. Sometimes they will want to look inside so only put true medicines in it. It does not count as a bag for boarding etc. I also travel with a cane and other medical items. None of them count towards my allowed bags. So for me I actually have 4 bags as I board the plane. Personal, carry on, medicine and battery bag for my scooter battery that I remove from my scooter at the gate. All airlines recognize that medical equipment and medicine does not count towards bags.
Traveling in November to Poland, Prague, Germany and Spain and I do have prescription medications. I also have certain peptides that are injectable that I use would their be an issue?
I think you must talk much faster.
Is this channel AI?
great content
Thank you so much for the detailed info. I have to travel with a large quantity of liquid meds and have been a stress case! Your info helped me feel less overwhelmed about the process especially since I haven't flown in a while!
Is Saily an international WIFI plan for cell phones?
TSA run by communist
In my long career, I flew all the time. To me, being on a plane constitutes a work day, so I've avoided it when possible. This video, which is excellent, reminds me of one thing that makes travel such a headache now.
Thank you.
