It's good to see a recent video about LAG rules in the US. I work as a screening officer in Canada, and I sometimes hear from passengers that they weren't restricted while flying in the US. Of course, I know better, but it is nice to see it confirmed. The one difference between the rules for our countries is about frozen liquids; they are subject to the same restrictions as their non-frozen counterparts. On a related note, does TSA restrict inorganic powders, like salt or sand? In Canada, you can have a maximum of 350g of such substances.

@BenDreamVacations 2 жыл бұрын

The TSA does not restrict sand or salt here in the U.S. They may want to inspect it if you have large quantities of it but there is no limit to how much you can carry.

@BenDreamVacations 2 жыл бұрын

As long the egg-rolls are completely frozen long enough to get through security then you won't have any issues. After you get through security it won't matter if the egg-rolls start to thaw out a bit. You will also need to get approval with the airline you are flying with to carry dry ice. The FAA limits you to 5.5 pounds.

As for the wagon, you will need to check with the airline you will be flying on to see if they have any restrictions for storing a wagon on the plane but you are allowed to take one through security.

The baby formula is not true. They made me dump out the pre made bottles before going through the check point. So I was left with nothing for my baby to feed on a 3 hour flight. That was at O’Hara airport in Chicago. Needless to say neither of us was very happy about that flight.

@BenDreamVacations Жыл бұрын

Hi Shannon, first I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. I am not sure why they would have you dump out the formula since it clearly states that baby formula is considered medically necessary and you are allowed to carry it through security. In fact your baby doesn't even need to be present to be able to carry the formula. Did the TSA give you a reason why? The only thing I can think of that would be an issue is if the bottles of formula were not in clear translucent bottles. If you are planning on flying again with your baby I would suggest you contact the TSA before you fly out. They can address your concerns about the screening process and provide assistance to you www.tsa.gov/contact-center/form/cares or by phone at (855) 787-2227. Hopefully someone else can chime in as well and share their experience with taking baby formula through security.

You can check it or bring it onboard the airplane with you. If you are going to be brining the sausage on the plane with you and you need to keep it cool, just make sure that whatever you are using to keep it cool is completely frozen when you go through security. Otherwise, it's probably better to pack the sausage in a checked bag if you think the ice packs might not be all the way frozen when you get to the airport.

I called Boston Airport and they said no vegetables, no meat, and no seads are allowed in checked suitcases 😕 I am moving to the USA from morocco as an international student and I really want to bring the food my mom made me 😅😭 any suggestions

@BenDreamVacations Жыл бұрын

I wish I had some suggestions for you but it is really hard to bring food into the U.S. from other country. You can ship food as long as its from one individual to another but I am not sure how well it would keep or how long it would take. Other than that I don't know of another you you can bring food into the U.S. I hope the move goes well for you and welcome to the U.S.!

Can I carry canned goods in hand carried baggage?

@BenDreamVacations Жыл бұрын

You can carry canned goods in hand luggage as long it doesn't contain any liquid, gel, or paste in the can. I will say canned goods do not show up very well through the x-ray machine so its possible security will not allow you to carry it through if they can't get a good image of it. It's best to pack them in checked luggage if possible.

It will depend on what’s inside the tamales. If there is any sauce or cream in them they will need to be frozen at the time you enter security. Your Braun 9 pro and Apple TV are ok to take with you but you may be asked to take them of your bag and place them in a bin for screening.

@BenDreamVacations 2 жыл бұрын

If there is any liquid in the can it could be a problem. Generally its best to keep canned foods packed in a checked bag. It really depends on how it looks through the x-ray scanner. If it detects liquid then the TSA may visual inspect it and may allow it or they may decided to confiscate it. I wish I could give you a yes or no answer but it is really ultimately to the TSA to make that call.
