Can you take balloons on an airplane

From the airline website it said that inflated goods including balloons, beach balls, etc were not allowed on board inflated. DisneyLvr12 Mouseketeer. Joined Aug 9, We brought a balloon on the plane back home with us this past december. It was one of those 2 in 1 balloons. The mickey balloon was encased in a larger balloon. We were worried about it popping on the plane, so dh poked the tiniest hole in the outer balloon.

This allowed enough air out for it to pressurize. It surely would have popped had he not poked that hole. In the end, it was pretty much ruined well, the outer balloon after a few days of being home. But, we did get it on the plane! TikiGoddess07 Mouseketeer.

When you get home, bring the balloon to your local grocery store and they can fill it with helium for you. Mickey Balloon! Joined Mar 21, Or, you could just give it away. On a previous trip, we were stopped at DHS by a lady and her small son who was about the same age as DS. She said they were getting ready to fly home and couldn't take the balloon on the plane. She asked if my DS would like the balloon. Well, DS was thrilled to take it! And since we were flying too, we kept the balloon for the week then re-gifted it to another little boy.

But I don't think it will pop or completely deflate especially as I assume that it is a Mylar balloon, not a latex balloon. As soon as the balloon reaches "normal" conditions on the ground, it will regain its initial shape. You might want to put a note on the box saying something like "pressure and temperature sensitive freight". Just to make sure that it gets put into a reasonably controlled area of the cargo hold. Good luck, Margit. Want custom printed balloons? CSA Balloons are our readers' first choice!

Does TSA check your phone? I would check to make sure that store is open from a liner who has been to MCO recently. MCO posted it was open 2 days ago! We took an inflated balloon on a southwest flight in September TSA just had me walk it thru the scanner.

I have precheck - not sure if that helped. I had a huge plastic bag that I put it in and my daughter carried it onto the flight. I did ask at the southwest counter when I checked our bags and they said it was ok to take on.

In the unpressurized baggage area if it was checked it would be more likely to pop. But then your balloon would probably be the least of your worries at that moment. A latex balloon would have some stretch but should be fun to watch it grow.
