No, cannabis pre-rolls are not a safe item for most flights, and taking them across any border can create legal trouble. Pre-rolls seem small, simple, and easy to stash in a bag. That’s what trips people up. Airport rules are not built around what feels minor. They’re built around federal law, screening rules, and the […]

No, U.S. passport holders need a valid visa or OCI card before boarding a flight to India. Plenty of travelers assume a U.S. passport is enough for a short trip to India. It isn’t. If you’re an American citizen, you usually need an Indian visa before you leave the United States. The main exception is

Yes, loose powder is allowed in carry-on and checked bags, though carry-on amounts over 12 ounces may face extra screening. Loose powder usually isn’t banned at airport security. You can bring it on a plane in most cases. The snag comes from how much you pack, where you pack it, and whether a screening officer

Yes, a drone can go in checked baggage, but spare lithium batteries must stay in your carry-on and airline limits still apply. Plenty of travelers assume a drone is just another gadget. That’s where trips go sideways. The aircraft itself may be fine in a checked bag, yet the battery setup decides whether your packing

Yes, U.S. passport service can be rushed through expedited processing or an agency appointment when your travel date is close. If your trip is creeping up and your passport is missing, expired, or stuck in the application pile, you’re not out of luck. U.S. passport service does offer faster paths. The catch is that “expedited”

Yes, a wedding gown can go in the cabin if it clears screening and fits your airline’s carry-on or garment-bag rules. A wedding dress is one of the last things most brides want out of sight. Lost bags, rough handling, damp cargo holds, and last-minute reroutes can turn a calm travel day into a mess.

Airport baggage scales are usually accurate enough for airline limits and bag fees, but home readings can miss by a pound or two. You’re standing at check-in, your suitcase is packed to the zipper, and the screen lands right on the edge of the limit. That’s when this question hits: are airport scales actually right,

Yes, most instant hot or cold packs can fly in carry-on and checked bags, but fuel-based warmers and battery-heated gear need extra care. Hot packs sound simple until you’re standing at security with a sore back, a knee wrap, or a bag full of winter gear. The good news is that many hot packs are

Yes, Spirit lets you bring one personal item for free, while a full-size carry-on usually costs extra unless your fare or bundle includes it. Spirit’s bag policy catches plenty of travelers off guard because the airline splits cabin bags into two buckets: a free personal item and a paid carry-on. If you know where your

No, Haitian citizens need a Belize visa in most cases, unless they qualify for a listed exemption tied to a valid U.S., Schengen, or Canada travel document. Belize does not place Haiti on its visa-free list. That means a Haitian passport holder will usually need a visa before boarding a trip to Belize. There is
