Cardboard box as a carry on?

Leave it open in case TSA wants to look in it and just carry it on. It won’t be a problem at all. Some of my passengers carry on black garbage bags with their stuff in them. Thanks for flying and try to enjoy the trip!

I would think it is ok? I carry on Shopping bags and all sorts of things. You can call the airline to double check.

Just make sure you haven’t stored it near gunpowder or rocket engines. Oh man is that a headache during rapid transfers…

Other than that, it should be fine as long as it’s a very structurally stable, clean box.

I’ve carried on a cardboard box before, with a very breakable present in it. They were fine with it. I think I was flying American or United.

We pack paintings and other assorted items in bubblewrap and cardboard and people take them as carry on. If they are too large for overhead, the attendants stow them somewhere. So far no one has had any problems that we are aware of.

don’t forget, no liquids and no sharps.

Just remember to peel off the ‘Explosive’ plackard stickers.
