Tiger7Moth Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I will be flying from Swampy to the US on Delta airlines and according to their baggage rules and guidelines: 1) You can carry on a laptop. 2)Laptops can not be in checked baggage. I will be traveling with a laptop and a netbook (small, of course). At the airport security, you must remove the laptop for scanning. Will I run into a problem with both a laptop and a netbook? I expect I could fit both into my laptop bag - so, only one bag when boarding (so, I am only worried about having a problem at the security scanner). In the US, I will arrive in Seattle and then later that day fly to Denver on Air Alaska. So, the same questions and concerns apply for my flight within the US. Alternatively, I have a nice padded bag for the netbook. Would it be stupid to put this amongst clothing in a checked bag (if there was potentially a problem at the security scan)? Thanks in advance of any helpful information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidge Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've never had problems travelling with 2 laptops. Would you consider putting your laptop in a bag and throwing the bag across the floor? If not, i wouldn't consider putting one in checked baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Its the check in staff you need to conceal it from. Security won't care if you have five laptops in the bag as long as they're all OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I flew in from Australia with a regulation sized carry suitcase, I had a netbook, laptop and an xbox360 in it, I had to pull each out for the scanner but there was no issues, I would imagine the US would be similar.

roiethome Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I regularly fly with a laptop and my Ipad and never had any issues, just pull them out of the bag for scanning, much safer than putting in checked bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Easy to carry on...but for sure, don't check them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
