Some people might find themselves needing to travel with two laptops: one for professional use and one for personal use. If you are in this situation and want to know if traveling with two laptops is allowed, you’ll find your answer in this topic.
NOTICE: This article is intended for people traveling from or within the United States of America.In fact, the information I’m presenting here is based on guidelines from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It’s the agency that has authority over the security of the traveling public in the United States, and its rules apply whether you’re flying from or within the U.S.
What TSA says about traveling with 2 Laptops on a plane?
The TSA page dedicated to the rules for traveling with laptops says that it allowed to travel with it:
The rule talks about “laptops”, that means that 2 or more are allowed to be taken on plane.
What matters to TSA is that “you must remove the laptops from your bag and place each one in a separate bin for X-ray screening”.
This is confirmed again when someone else asked the same question on “X”, and AskTSA support confirmed that it is allowed and added that “There is no quantity limitations.”.
Hre is the tweet :
Thanks for asking. Laptops are allowed in carry-on bags with no quantity limitations. Please remove all personal electronic devices larger than a cell phone and place them in a bin for X-ray screening. For more info, please watch: https://t.co/Y89RTsMsbZ

My advice is that even if TSA allows it, you should check with your airlines for baggage allowance.
