Air travel with Unbreakable® Umbrella
Can long umbrellas, such as Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrellas model U-111 or model U-115, be brought into an airplane’s cabin?
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) no longer allows passengers to bring long umbrellas, such as walking-stick umbrellas, into an airplane’s cabin. Long umbrellas have to travel in checked luggage. But Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrellas will not fit into a standard large luggage piece, of total dimensions no greater than 62 linear inches (length + width + depth), as required by most airlines. However, Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrellas will fit in a ski bag or a snowboard bag, which most airlines allow as checked baggage, with no oversize and overweight fees if the bag weighs no more than 50 pounds (approximately 23 kg).

Will Unbreakable® Telescopic Umbrella (Collapsible umbrella) clear USA TSA screening in a carry-on-bag?
Short umbrellas are allowed if they fit into the permitted size of a carry-on bag. However, while Unbreakable® Telescopic Umbrella Model U-303 is short (10.4 inch long or 264 mm), it feels massive in a hand (it weighs 1 lb 3.2 oz or 545 g), so if handled by strangers, it is more likely to arouse their curiosity than our walking-stick umbrellas or discontinued telescopic model U-212s. Even though theoretically you may take this telescopic umbrella on an airplane, TSA agents may feel otherwise. Our experience shows that to avoid a confiscation or a simple theft at a TSA security checkpoint, our telescopic umbrellas should be packed in a carry-on luggage rather than carried in hand or otherwise flaunted.

    Umbrella is the absolute best, and gave us the greatest confidence we could have on our D.C. trip even walking through the Upper East side’s “hoods”.
    Minor issue with the rubber caps for making the umbrella a walking stick/cane, for the museums.
    They wear through in one day of walking sidewalks. Ordered extra umbrella tip caps so all was good to go.

    Thank you for making our vacation a safe one!
