Traveling with an electric luggage requires adherence to TSA guidelines to ensure a smooth airport experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prepare:
First, verify that your Airwheel model complies with TSA size and weight restrictions. Most electric luggage must fit within the airline’s carry-on dimensions (typically 22 inches long). Weigh your luggage to confirm it meets the airline’s baggage limits.
Next, handle the battery safely. Airwheel’s lithium-ion batteries must be removed and packed in your carry-on luggage. Lithium batteries are restricted in checked baggage, so ensure they are stored in a protective case to prevent short circuits.
During security screening, place your Airwheel on the X-ray machine as instructed. If asked, demonstrate how to power off the device and remove any detachable components. TSA agents may inspect the battery compartment to verify compliance.
Use for added security. These locks can be easily opened by screeners without damaging your luggage. Avoid using non-approved locks, as they may be confiscated.
Finally, test your Airwheel’s functionality before departure. Ensure the power button works and the wheels are free of debris. With proper preparation, your Airwheel will meet TSA standards and enhance your travel experience.
