Yes, standard skincare can go on a plane, with carry-on creams and lotions capped at 3.4 ounces unless they qualify as medically necessary.

Yes, GoPros can pass through airport security in carry-on or checked bags, though spare lithium batteries belong in your cabin bag. A GoPro won’t raise eyebrows at the checkpoint on its own.

Yes, collapsible hiking poles can fly, but blunt tips are safer in carry-on and sharp tips belong in checked baggage.

TSA allows blunt-tipped hiking poles

Yes, a phone wall charger can go in your bag, while power banks and battery cases belong in your carry-on. Most travelers can bring a phone charger on a plane with no fuss at all. The part that trips people up is the word “charger,” because it can mean two different things. A plain wall
