How do I get through airport security with an engagement ring. My g/f will be next to me. I could insure it and check it, but I would prefer to keep it with me somehow. I never have carry on so if I do it now it would seem out of the ordinary.

Maybe you could wrap it up and tuck it in your wallet. You have to put your wallet through the security check, just make sure she doesn't take a peek at the xray screen.
Unless the rock is too big!!! Then, lucky her! :P

well either keep it in your pocket or carry a small carry-on bag. Be sure to remove all other metal so you do not set off the metal detector. The ring is not big enough to set it off by itself. But if you do set off the detector you will be hand wanded and you will have to take it out. But if yo carry a small bag it just gets x-rayed and you go on your way,
I am a Security Officer at our airport. Good luck dude!!

I wear my engagement ring and wedding band when I go through the metal detector and it doesn't set it off. So, you should be fine to just keep it in your pocket in a ring pouch or something similar. Just remember which pocket it is in, so that you don't accidently take it out when you empty your pockets of change, wallet, keys, etc. Good luck!

What's wrong with simply putting it the same place you would carry a large wad of cash? Like a wallet, a zipped-up pocket, a money belt? When I travel, I usually wrap my cash and stuff it into my sock, and wear tall boots.

You don't have to check rings...you might have to take it off to get through security, but chances are you can keep it with you...it isn't considered a weapon or anything.

I would keep it on you.. wrap it in a tissue if you can't carry a ring box........don't send it with luggage...........I have heard horror stories with airport personnel looking through luggage.

wear a long necklace that you can put under your neckline. then put the ring in the necklace. where it in the bathroom and when you're inside the place, take it out in the restroom. coz she might look at the necklace whle you're sleeping.

Tape it to the inside of your wallet. How often do people really watch the x-ray machine?
