    Domestic Plane Travel - I should know but I can't remember. What Can I take??

    I'm traveling domestically tomorrow and know I can't take my aresol deo (only taking carry on luggage). Does the 100ml liquid thing apply to domestic travel?? Is the underwire in my bras going to cause issues?

    Dumb questions but it has been a while since i've travelled and I just can't remember.

    Not dumb at all hun! Underwire is fine! Yes the fluid thing applies to domestic so don't buy a big bottle of water to take on board! Pretty sure you can take aerosol if it has a lid on it but I might be wrong, there is also lots of info on each airlines website! Have fun xoxo

    Your bras are fine but leave your bodkins and hockey sticks at home

    ETA - The liquids thing doesn't apply on domestic flights unless they are a leg of an international flight.

    A sewing tool. You use it to put holes in things before stitching. Things like leather that are too tough to just shove a needle through.

    If ur deodorant has a lid or lock you can take it with you- we used to check people through all the time.

    The 100ml won't apply as ur only traveling domestic not international

    I got pulled up on a shifting spanner once. I had forgotten all about it.
    I still haven't figured out what they thought I might do with it. Loosen the seat?

    onyx, it would be classed as a weapon, coz you know u would be really worried about bashing someone with it on the plane

    when working at the airport the stuff security turned away was ridiculous!

    for a while pens were on the hit list in case u tried to stab someone

    I know it's a unlikely but DH once had his Swisse army knife on his keys and had to hadn them over, it was one that was engraved from his brother so he was devo'd but hadn't even thought twice about his key set in his bag.

    DH is really absent minded so he often gets pulled up with knives and scissors and so on. He hides them in pot plants etc and picks them up on the way back or you can post them to yourself from airports with a P.O. Office or maolbox

    You also can't take handcuffs or vibrators in your carry on luggage.

    Which makes it harder to join the flying solo mile high club.

    Next time I fly with my MIL I reckon I might sneak a vibrator into her bag...

    I remember knitting needles being on the no no list too.

    Sorry, fat fingers syndrome might occur.
