Halloween is Approaching. Those wondering if they can bring Pumpkins when they travel should know that TSA allows us to bring Pumpkins on planes with some special requirements. In this post, I will cover everything you need to know about flying with Pumpkins according to the TSA.
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 a Pumpkins on a plane?
Pumpkins are Vegetables, so it goes under this specific rule : TSA on Fruits & Vegetables.
This means that you are allowed to bring with you Pumpkins on plane.
The question also was asked on x.com AskTSA support page and the answer was “Pumpkins, carved or whole, are allowed through the airport security checkpoint. You may want to check w/your air carrier if you have any questions about the size or number of carry-on bags & personal items allowed in the cabin of the plane.”
