Ernie00 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I know a lot of people traveled by air this past few weeks to go to SES. I'm going to Colorado soon and usually I bring my boots as part of my carry on. With the new rules and everything is that something still possible to do ? We are flying with Jetblue Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are flying with Jetblue Thanks for the info I never put my boots under the plane. I usually put them under the seat in front of me.

Corey Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Note that flying Canada to US is very different than flying US to US after the Christmas attack attempt. There is a list of things the TSA allows you to carry, not a list of things you can't carry as used within the US. Check the TSA homepage or your airline's site. I flew US to US, no problem with boots (with BTS springs in place) in my carry-on luggage. Not to mention the ticket was less than 1/2 the price. That made the 2.5 hour drive South worth my time!

BobD Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 For anyone traveling to Europe, I've heard that many airports no longer allow boots in the cabin. BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 If you wear them on to the plane what are they going to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 we are flying from boston to denver... Montreal denver non stop was about 1000$ more .. so it'S worth the drive. I've tought about wearing my boots also ;) it would be a pain to take them off and put them back on to go through the scanner. specially my new UPZ. In the past years I've never had any problems with bringning them on the plane... I was just curious with all the new measures.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulk Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I pack my boots and bindings(BTS and td 2's) in a backpack as a carry-on. Hartford to Denver and back.. It did get flagged in Hartford for a manual search because the inspector stated that the bindings "shielded" the boots in x-ray. Next time thru I removed the bindings to a bin with my shoes...and had no search. The only problem encountered over the last 4 years was when I packed an L-shaped 5mm allen wrench in the binding parts bag....The nice security lady in Canada stated that I could not posess any "tools", and had to leave it behind... Good luck and safe travels!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
