Can you take gaming consoles to a plane as carry on?
Im moving from United States to Brazil and I was wondering if I could bring my Xbox 360 and my laptop both on my carry on luggage wrapped in foam bc of 2 things 1-I dont trust baggage handlers bc of steal or mishandle 2-I dont trust shipping service in Brazil (will ship from U.S. and once in Brazil the Brazilian shipping company workers steal it) I dont know what plane Ill be going yet but I did do some research on the internet abut this and its all ranging from 2001-2009 and I was wondering if its still legal to bring a gaming console on your carry in luggage all wrapped up along with the laptop??? and yes Im well aware that games from Brazil wont work bc of region codes but thats why there's Ebay (PS Xbox 360 in Brazil is close to a grand so this is why im so itchy about this) and will they tell me to take them out of the bag? bc if so I wont even wrap them in foam. Also heard that you cant bring hair gels/colognes but can you take it as checked luggage items? that goes in the plane's Cargo? Thanks a lot guys. Airport's regulations have become really itchy about everything. Im sad enough I can't take my 4,000.00 guitar =[ unless i buy a seat for it which is just stupid Thx Bob but can you be more specific bc I asked multiple questions.... Laptop, Xbox, cologne, hair gel.... carry on or checked luggage.... wasn't helpful but thanks keagan - Thx for the info i really appreciate it and yes Im from Sao Paulo too e sim eu falo portugues mto bem. denovo mto obrigado! abracos Maple - Thx for that I heard about the zip lock bags thx for reminding me ill be sure to do that

No
Answer 2 :
Yes, it is legal to bring your Xbox as a carry-on. I have taken my Xbox as a carry on many times and I have never had a problem. Yes, hair gels/colognes are recommended to be put in your checked luggage, which goes in the plane's cargo hold. Good luck in Brasil. My mother is from Sao Paulo. Boa sorte! I hope you can speak Portuguese!
Answer 3 :
Yes you can take it the hair gel and cologne needs to be in zip lock bags. See http://www.tsa.gov/ for guidelines.
Answer 4 :
As long as your laptop and x-Box along with your other carry on items are within you airline's carry on allowance, it's fine to bring both your laptop and x-Box as carry on luggage. Both of the items do need to be removed at the security checkpoint and placed into separate bins for x-ray. All of your hair gel, cologne, etc. must be 3.4 oz. or less and place in one clear quart sized plastic bag. Anything larger than 3.4 oz. or more than what will fit into the one quart sized bag must go into your check in luggage. You can read about the TSA's rules for x-box's here (scroll down): http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/sop/index.shtm and liquids here: http://www.tsa.gov/311
