Yes, an induction cooktop can fly, but screening may take longer and any loose lithium batteries need to stay in your carry-on. Induction cooktops are a travel oddball. They’re not sharp, not liquid, not a fuel burner. Still, they look dense on an X-ray, and that can slow you down if you pack it like […]

Yes, a backpack is usually allowed on a plane if it fits your airline’s carry-on or under-seat size rules and passes security screening. A backpack is one of the easiest bags to fly with. It keeps your hands free, slides under many seats, and works for weekend trips, work travel, and long-haul flights. That said,

Yes, you can bring foundation in a carry-on when each liquid or cream container is 3.4 oz (100 mL) or less and fits in one quart-size bag. You don’t want to land, open your bag, and find a makeup spill that soaked your clothes. You don’t want to watch your favorite bottle get pulled from

Most Delta flights offer seat power via AC outlets or USB ports, but the exact setup depends on the aircraft, cabin, and even your row. You board, buckle in, and then the low-battery warning pops up. If you fly Delta a lot, you’ve probably lived both versions of this story: a seat with a perfect

Most travelers can fly with a rice cooker in carry-on or checked bags, as long as it’s clean, packed safely, and within the airline’s size and weight rules. Rice cookers end up in suitcases for a simple reason: hotel food gets old fast, and a familiar meal can save a trip. The good news is

A conch shell can fly in carry-on or checked baggage, yet customs rules and local harvest laws can still block it at the border. You found the perfect conch shell. It’s heavy, glossy, and it screams “beach trip.” Then the doubt hits: will TSA take it, will it stink up your bag, and will customs

Yes, airports can issue trespass bans that bar you from the terminal or property for a set period or permanently. If you’ve ever watched airport police escort someone out of a terminal, the question comes fast: Can You Be Banned From An Airport? In the U.S., the answer is yes, and it often starts with
