“I’ve taken my Brompton as a carry-on.” We’ve all heard it but does it actually work? We put it to the test on our recent flight from FL to TX.
Here’s what we learned:
* Used the Brompton Transit Transport Bag.
* Removed the saddle for easier TSA X-ray clearance.
* TSA asked what it was. “A small folding bike.” No issues.
* Flight there: Carried it onboard, no problem.
* Flight back: The airline played carry-on police 😂 and made us gate-check it.
The upside on gate-check? No extra fees, minimal handling & the bike was waiting right outside the plane when we landed.
We were hesitant at first, but the whole experience was MUCH easier than expected. Definitely the play moving forward.
