can you take wrapped presents for xmas on the plane?

Question

my husband heard this morning on the radio morning so rang easyjet they said no so i have to unwrapp all the ones im taking for the kids as anyone had problems with this.

Answer 1

No you can't. They will either ask you to unwrap them or confiscate them. Play it safe and take the wrapping paper with you to do the job when you arrive.

Answer 2

I work at an airport.
I have seen wrapped presents go in checked luggage, but they were x-rayed first. If a wrapped present could go on carryon style, it would be x-rayed, too, and I don't see how this would be impossible. I just can't say I've seen it.
Alas, the airport I work at is small, and maybe for this or some other reason airports are different.
But most importantly, I don't work for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and TSA is responsible for the security in US airports. If you want the credible, official information, look at the TSA website (the link is below). I think the airlines regulate size and weight, but everything else is regulated by TSA.

If you intend to discover ways to stop almost any violence the you will need to have this program of Bruce Perry, Patriot Self Defense , a course that you just can find it here https://tr.im/RopbS
Patriot Self Defense will coach you on a very successful self-defense process that is been field-tested in houses, at government functions and on a number of the meanest streets on the planet against the absolute most ruthless, clever and dangerous criminal.
With Patriot Self Defense you will find out that's much simpler then you estimated to defend your self since that you do not must be a specialist or have power, you only have to know how to do certain moves, simple movements but deathly.

Answer 4

Best not to.They may ask you to unwrap them to inspect them. It will draw their suspicion to you. I had to open some of the packages I had. The thing is a lot of department stores have charity wrapping booths this time of year and it is a great idea to have your stuff wrapped before you leave the mall but it does not work for travelling. Can you check the luggage with the presents. I think they only check the carry on stuff.

Answer 5

I flew back from Spain on Easy yet! with a WHOLE case of wrapped presents not an issue at all.... I just would steer clear of in hand luggage

Answer 6

You would not be able to get thru security; it is best to check them. Otherwise I have seen people lately having to unwrap the presents holding up the lines of security. That makes every one in line mad because they are wondering if they will make their flight. The Dept. of Transportation dictates what you can and cannot take on the plane; their website is at www.tsa.gov

Answer 7

They make you unwrap them so they can see what is in the box. You don't want to sit next to the fool who has a bomb, gift wrapped, in his carry on luggage!

Answer 8

Put them in the hold luggage but to be on the safe side dont wrap it only encourages suspicion and you are not allowed to wrap them anyway they have been telling us this for weeks. Dont forget no aerosols or funny liquids either.

Answer 9

You can take whatever you want onto the plane in your suitcase as long as it is going in the hold and NOT handluggage!!!
this is a nightmare... but is worse when they make you take your shoes and belt off to go thro security!!!

And that was only an internal flight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh... and dont buy any bottles in the airport BEFORE you go thro passport control into your departure lounge because they take this off you!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps

Answer 10

I believe you can bring wrapped presents. I've seen people do it. However if they alarm through security, they have to unwrap them so they can clear them to fly. If you are bringing them as carry-ons then of course no liquids. Security has x-ray which sees through wrapping paper.
