I am going to be taking a US domestic flight tomorrow and am considering taking my NormaTec system with me on my trip. Has anyone had any airline travel experiences, either positive or negative, of flying with their compression pump/sleeves? Did you check your boots or carry-on? Did the airline or TSA give you any problems? Just looking for any and all anecdotes to help me make my decision and weigh the potential hassle vs security of Norma. Thanks!
i have. carry-on. they took out the pump to examine it. didn’t have any real issue.
Which airline? I’m flying American…
Thanks.
I am curious to understand why you’d go through the hassle (if there is any). I don’t know how well these things travel and what the major benefits are, so glad to be educated.

TSA does security
Good point, the airline question is moot. Thanks for pointing that out!
These work great! Especially sport pump! I have been using mine for the last year and a half and it is like having an ice bath and light massage whenever you want it. Very very useful for recovery. PM me for more.
TSA gives you a look but no issue. I have even used them in an airport.
I guess I’ll see if its a hassle or not. Was looking for as much input as possible, but going to give it a go. bmeer said no prob, then I had a friend that did, so we’ll see. I secured a sports/travel letter from the manufacturer that explains what it is and perhaps that will help with TSA. I am going to try because I think it helps with my recovery and keeping my legs fresh. I am sure this could be contested by some, but that’s my opinion.
I’ve flown with my Normatec boots several times. Carry them on and put the whole system in a backpack by itself. You will get searched and they will take your bag apart, but I’ve never had TSA give me any issues.
