can you bring hair dryers in checked baggage on us flights?

Answer 1

Yes you can - I always travel with mine.

For the complete list of what you can and can not bring on the aircraft in both your checked and carry on luggage go to the TSA website http://www.tsa.gov/

Answer 2

There are no restrictions on taking hair driers and there never have been, whether you have them in your checked baggage or in your hand luggage. The only restrictions apart from the long-standing restrictions on explosives, fireworks, corrosives, etc are that you cannot take more than small quantities of liquids and gels in your hand luggage any more.

You might have a problem if you have one of those driers that works using gas cartridges but a regular electric one will be fine.

Incidentally, a UK drier will not work very well in the US due to different voltage requirements. It will be extremely slow and it will take forever to dry your hair. The cheapest option would be simply buy a new one in the US. They start at around $20 (11 pounds sterling). If you are staying at a 3-star hotel or better, you will almost certainly find a drier in your room.

Answer 3

In checked baggage, which is in the plane itself (!), of course. Ask a travel agent about taking a dryer in your carry-on. As long as it's a plug-in model (not battery operated), there should be no problem.

Answer 4

you will likely be ok. As long as its new and has no traces of any illegal narcotic, and secondly you have no narcotics on you. If they catch you with narcotics even if its not in the pipe then they can declare it drug paraphenalia which possession of which is illegal in most US states. Pipes are always very touchy because we all know what they are usually used for however they can have other usages so not all states are quick to declare them drug paraphenalia expecially if they are unused but if you give them one reason to declare it one, like carrying narcotics, mentioning them, etc. they will. Just be careful. Its not an age thing its a law thing! BTW: just be prepared for extra scrutiny when they find it. they will likely ask you what you plan to use it for. they also would have probable cause to search you as well for narcotics. some people keep saying this is bad especially since you are a minor. being a minor has nothing to do with it. it is just as illegal the only difference is the punishment that can be given to a minor is different than that of an adult

Answer 5

Yes no problems as long as it is in the hold. Make sure it's a travel one though - I took my nice hair dryer to florida last year - took up the weight of loads of clothes and it didn't work properly because the voltage wasn't the same. Be careful I'm sure you'll want the weight for shopping and clothes!!! Have fun!!!

Answer 6

Of course you can carry hair driers, but the US and European electrical systems are different, so you will need adaptors or maybe transformers etc. Why not buy a cheap hair drier when you get there. That way, there is no problem with getting the thing to work properly on the local power supply. Its safer too.

Answer 7

Yes. See my source link for a complete list.

Answer 8

You need to ask the airline that you will be traveling on. They change the rules so frequently nowadays, it is best to get a list of allowable and restricted items each time you fly.

Answer 9

Yes. That's one thing they haven't restricted yet. For a list of what you can and can't carry, check the website below.

Answer 10

Yes. Check out the tsa website, I believe that it's www.tsa.gov
