Can You Bring a Massage Gun on a Plane Through TSA？
When traveling by plane, many people want to bring a massage gun to relax their muscles during the trip. Will TSA security allow us to bring a massage gun on the airplane? The answer is yes. However, there are a number of things you need to be aware of in order to carry it on the airplane.
The main reason why massage guns can or cannot be carried on airplanes is the battery. Nowadays, most massage guns are powered by lithium batteries, which are convenient and efficient. However, due to the high energy density of lithium batteries, under certain conditions, short circuits, overheating and other conditions may occur, and even lead to fire or explosion. Therefore, any device with a lithium battery is prohibited in checked baggage and must be placed in carry-on baggage. It's a good idea to take them out when you go through security and let the security personnel know that you are planning to carry them on the airplane. Don't try to trick or hide them, it's about the safety of you and other people.
Rules may vary slightly from place to place. If you want to avoid arriving at security only to be told that the type of massage gun you have is not allowed on the plane, call the airport ahead of time and ask for details about them.
What Kind of Massage Gun Is Suitable for Use on an Airplane?
If you want to use a massage gun on an airplane, ABEGET recommends that you should pick one with the following features:
Small and lightweight
A mini massage gun does not take up too much luggage space and weight allowance and can easily fit in your carry-on bag. It is very convenient to access it anytime during the flight.
Low noise technology
The airplane cabin is a relatively quiet public space. Using a low noise massage gun can avoid disturbing other passengers resting or working, allowing you to enjoy the massage relaxation without affecting others.
Multi-speed adjustment
Different people have different levels of acceptance of the vibration of a massage gun. Choosing a massage gun with multi-speed adjustment allows them to choose the right massage intensity according to their personal needs and feelings. Avoid too much or too little strength to affect the massage effect or cause discomfort.
Long battery life
If you are taking a long flight, it is important to have a massage gun with a long battery life. This will prevent you from running out of power during the flight and will continue to provide you with a relaxing massage. In general, it is best to choose a Smart Mini Massage Gun with a battery life of around 4-6h. This way you don't need to worry about running out of power in the middle of use after a single charge.
Precautions for Using Massage Guns on Airplanes
1. Comply with airline regulations
Some airlines may prohibit the use of massage guns in the airplane cabin, so first check the specific regulations of the airline you are traveling with. You can look up the policy on the use of electronic devices in the cabin on the airline's official website, or call customer service to ask if the use of massage guns is allowed.
2. Consider the impact on other passengers
If you are not seated individually, be careful about how far you move when using the massage gun. The airplane cabin space is narrow, to prevent you from bumping into other passengers or cabin facilities and inconvenience to others.
The massage gun generates vibration and some noise when working. Avoid disturbing the surrounding passengers when using it. If the passengers around you suggest to you not to use it, it may mean that they are being disturbed and you should stop using it as soon as possible.
3. Pay attention to safety
Make sure the battery of the massage gun and the device itself are in good condition. If the massage gun malfunctions during use, such as overheating, smoking or loose parts and other abnormalities, stop using it immediately and turn it off.
As long as you understand and follow with the relevant regulations and make preparations, you will be able to start your journey with the massage gun smoothly. During the flight, use the massage gun to relax your tired muscles and make the journey more comfortable. Enjoy your pleasant flying time!
