About Can I Bring This Item
Helping travelers pack with absolute confidence, decode confusing security regulations, and breeze through airport checkpoints worldwide.
Why We Exist
Air travel is exciting, but packing can quickly become a stressful guessing game. Between different airlines, international destination rules, and ever-changing airport security protocols, answering a simple question like "Can I pack my phone charger in my checked luggage?" or "Are scissors allowed in my carry-on?" can require digging through dense government websites.
We built Can I Bring This Item to solve this exact problem. By collecting guidelines and organizing them into an interactive, lightning-fast directory, we offer a simple packing companion that gives travelers instant clarity before they head to the airport.
Instant Search
Type any item to instantly find carry-on and checked luggage guidelines without reading page-long tables.
Multi-Country Context
Switch countries seamlessly to ensure you follow local regulations in your destination and other global transit hubs.
Verified Rules
Our database coordinates with official source data so you get reliable guidelines for standard compliance questions.
Our Data & Coverage Expansion
Our database features fully localized security rules for the United States (TSA), Canada (CATSA), and the United Kingdom (CAA). You can seamlessly switch between these regions to view country-specific baggage rules.
We are actively working on sourcing and implementing official localized datasets for additional countries (including Australia, Japan, and Singapore) to our database to expand global coverage.
Independence and Trust
We believe in transparency. Can I Bring This Item is a fully independent resource. We are not affiliated with, funded by, or officially associated with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), or any other civil aviation security authority.
Because official rules can change overnight, we recommend using this site as a primary planning reference, but always checking official guidelines for high-risk items or items with strict regulatory updates.
Official Disclaimer Notice
The final decision on whether any item is permitted past security checkpoints rests entirely with the individual officer on duty at the airport. Never attempt to pack weapons, hazardous liquids, or banned items.
