Travelling to the States this summer?
Most importantly you should ensure that your luggage is fitted with TSA locks. The US TSA opens and inspects all luggage entering the country. If your case does not have a fixed TSA approved lock or a TSA approved padlock fitted, the TSA authorities will break of the lock to inspect the contents of your luggage - if you do have a TSA approved lock, they will use the special key that only they have to open the lock, inspect contents and relock your baggage.
As with all flights now from the UK you must also ensure that any portable electronic devices are capable of being powered up when going through security - if not you won't be allowed on board with them. Also don't forget your chargers!
Recently some of the American airlines have imposed lower cabin luggage maximum sizes than the IATA regulation, and lower than those we are used to in the UK - do double check the situation before arriving at the airport.
Our site at Luggage UK clearly shows on each product those items supplied with a TSA approved lock. For help or advice please call us on 01444 417111 or you can email us at any time.
