Can it be carried on an airplane?

TSA guidances are inconsistent, http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items screwdrivers less than 7 inches are OK, however all knives are not, even though scissors with blades less than 4 inches are OK (this seems a lot more dangerous than the little blade on the Utili-Key)

Mine was taken by TSA agents. If you want to keep it, don't take it with you, unless you want to take that chance. Mine was taken at SNA (Orange county, CA)

Although I saw it clearly pictured in one airport's TSA warnings (was it Spokane?) I've never been questioned about it in years. I carry so many pieces of electronic junk (chargers, cameras, etc.) that there may be a distraction factor working for me. At this point, I don't worry about it, if they take it, I can get another one. Knock wood, they'll probably confiscate it on my next flight...

technically no. but if you have it with a good number of other keys then you can get on. I cried my original one for 8 years before it was finally noticed so I bought a new one.
742933
I've taken mine on dozens of flights with no problems. It blends right into your keychain, and no one has ever questioned me about it.
742934
Probably shouldn't be but when it is in a jumble of keys it is very hard to make out. So Yes, I have gotten away with it a few times.
742935
No , I have had 2 taken away at DEN. and one at MEL in FL. They are more observant there. LAX never even noticed.
742936
I've flown with mine for years, but just finally had it taken away last month. I figure I got something like 6 years of use out of it. For $6 I'll probably buy a couple of them and keep going with it as part of my standard keychain unless they start to be taken away much more often...

I've had mine for a decade, over dozens of flights and hundreds of trips through courthouse security, and I have never had it taken. I think the main distinction is that it can be identified by sight, but NOT by X-Ray in the middle of keyring full of keys. Don't put it in the tray with your wallet, coins, watch, etc. Take your entire keyring out and put it in your briefcase/laptop bag/carryon etc, and you'll be fine.

Dozens of flights, never been caught. Its on my keyring with 6-8 other keys. I am certain if its standalone, it would be noticed. SEA, LAX, SAN, SNA, PSP, ONT, SFO, SJC, DFW, IAD, IAH, DCA, JFK, EWR, HNL, OGG, KOA, and even overseas at LHR, MUN, PEK, ACA. I had my first one for 5 years, before it just broke. I have had the new one, for a year, and still no issues.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

This is too large to be a carry-on item. It would have to be checked luggage to be taken onto a plane.

It is way too big for that kind of transportability. It's very light though. I would not recommend for plane or car

Not sure how heavy it is but it is heavy. My husband has to carry it. It definitely wouldn't fit above an airplane seat. Maybe under the plane.

I haven't used it on a plane as of yet. However, I don't see it being a problem. I will be taking mine on my trip in September.

Carry on would be fine. Depending on how you pack, it may need to go in the overhead compartment.

I don't know about taking it on the plane... but it is padded all the way around not a thick pad but enough to keep safe, I wouldn't be dropping it all the time

I have had zero problems carrying it on a plane. It fits under some seats, but most of the time you will have to put it in an overhead, so the only real issue is a small plane with those tiny overheads. Still, I have fit it under the seat on a CRJ, both the 200 and 700.

yes! I carried it on many times when traveling. I traveled with this in a small bag (the Medela one) with bottles of milk and it was fine to bring it on the plane. They did some test to the outside of the bottles, but it didn't do anything to the milk and was allowed.

The answers are yes, and I doubt it, in that order. But you can bring it as cabin baggage quite safely. It fits in the overhead luggage compartment if you turn it sideways.

Correct you will not be able to get on a plane with it/ do not check it as laugage i doubt it would make back to you

i've never flown with it, but it is pretty heavy to carry around an airport. its easy to install with a belt, so that wouldn't be an issue, but the weight would be too much for me.

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask

I know that it can be zip tied - it is small enough to carry on I guess but I'm not sure what the TSA regs specify

Probably even in/on an ultra light. It's pretty small. Or do you mean can you put it into checked baggage on commercial air? I would imagine so, since there is nothing pressurized about it.Happy flying!J

I believe it says in the description that you can. It's pretty small, but check dimensions with airline.
