How to Fly with a Fursuit

- Short little (hopefully) informative video! Like explained in the video, I was really nervous about flying with Ragtime for the first time to BLFC, and I wish there had been a video like this I could have watched! I briefly go over a couple things you'll want to do.
*NOTE: Wait to pack your suit until the night before you leave for your flight. You want to leave it squished in there for the shortest time possible, especially if you are using vacuum bags. Forgot to say that :)
If you have any other questions, comment below and I"ll do my best to help you out!

Rorrx you mean Physics right
Sillypitch01 Official yeah yeah XD
Jester Hyhuahua is it weird that I was planing on doing that? XD

Gemini same. :,)
"and just put your head in the trashbag"
nothing wrong there
Right where it belongs XD
Skink Blink and then BAM your furry trash!
Wolf pack forever I get the reference XDD
Peridot The Crystal Gem Same!
One thing to be careful about when taking your head on the plane with you is when you have electronics in the head, like fans, LEDs etc.
I would (and do) still take it, so I can have an eye on it at all times, but when you arrive at the TSA(/whatever) checkpoints, explain beforehand that you have a costume piece with custom electronics in it with you and what the electronics consist of, so that they know what the things they see in the XRay are. Preferrably carry a battery pack with you so that you can show they all work and aren't just a decoy.
I've found the people then respond totally positively to that. It's a nice break to their usually boring routine! They might give you slightly funny looks and laugh, but hey, isn't making people laugh a part of the reason for fursuiting anyways? ;)
I always fly with Delta, and you're only allowed to bring one carryon. I bring my fursuit head and my purse, saying that the purse has "feminine items," and I'm always allowed to bring it on. I just find it funny when I see the people at the check belt thing's faces like "wow okay she said that loudly." Listen girls go through it, and it's not like I can't get any more weird looks. I'm carrying a giant coyote head for crying out loud!
Well that works,,,
Scar The WolfDog wow a really fluffy bomb then xD
Omg thanks im flying tomorrow that's a good idea
pilot: *stares*
me: *wonders what they're thinking*
what the pilot's probably thinking: *why the hell do you have two giant suitcases..*
also, if you don't get it, the 1st one is for my fursuit, 2nd is for my actual clothes and stuff XD
'I did not put the head in the suitcase...'
Man, some shady business.
Why am I watching this? I don't even have a suit😂😂😂😂
Me either, preparing for the trip back from Holland when I actually have mine lol gonna wear it hehe
Same just same but I'm making one
kkAwesomeWolf WELL GET ONE XD
Why am I watching this? I'm not even a furry! ._.
Same xD
I travel a Lot with my Fursuit and never once have I gotten a strange look. =3
I'm just afraid that TSA will be suspicious about the head. And might look inside or cut it open.
Fiexzewolfeh OMG that's a scary thought
Fiexzewolfeh couldn’t you tell them it’s expensive and cannot be cut? Or ask to put on the head because they would know there is nothing bad in there since your heads in it?
Yeah..
Oh my god, your so pretty!
I took my first ever flight on Wednesday April 28th, 2022 from Orlando-Sanford Airport to Peoria, Illinois. I had a blast!
Thank you so much for uploading this! I was planning on going out of state for a con but had only heard stories about how dangerous it is to fly with a suit and that i shouldn't do it. Thank you for helping me not only know how to do it but ensuring that it's not nearly as dangerous as I've heard.
Thanks for posting! I've yet to do this and scared as heck about taking the ones I have. Maybe one day.
This video is very helpful, especially since most FurCon’s you need to travel to, and flying is easier then driving in some ways! I’ve gone to over 20 conventions now, but still, thanks for the tutorial! 🐱🐾
Thank you Reinfoxy! I'm gonna try to have a head ready for MFF later on in the year, and I've never flown with one before. This really helps me a lot, and I'm glad you put it up. ^^
After I get my head, I'm gonna bring my partial to my cousins house and scare the crap out of them because they don't know what furrys are XD
By far the best info video on traveling with fursuit I've seen. ^.^ thumbs up.
I'm glad you made this, it is so much more simple than I keep making it out to be lol. I'm flying with my suit to a con for the first time in a little over a week, so it's a bit nerve racking, but hopefully it goes smoothly! Being nervous about flying with a suit is the big reason why I've just drove to every con before now, but I've got to do it eventually!
this is really helpful thank you! im travelling from australia to the US this year for MFF and ill be bringing my suit x3
Headed to Megaplex this year tomorrow this helped me so much thank you
this will help in the future for me!
Why don't you put on your suit for flying?
Its hot and most of the time airports won't allow you to wear a giant animal suit while your flying.
The Candy Box keenora did it...
that's a terrible idea. not only will it be very uncomfortable and potentially hazardous for you, it'll probably also be a security hassle and might be uncomfortable/scary for passengers as well. fursuiting should be kept to safe environments like conventions and places that have been pre-notified of a costuming event
+Reinfoxy (Kei) tell that keenora. He did it
it's not about who does it, it's just an advice not to fly in the suit.
Awesome I’m going to BLFC this year for the first time and i was worried about how to pack denali’s head peice so thanks so much for your advice!!!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm going on a flight for christmas and wanted to bring my fursuit head back home to show my friends :)
thank you for uploading this video!!! it helps me soooo much!!!
Definately using these tips in the future! Thank you!
wow that was really really nice to know as me and my mate like to travel to a us con and that will be by flight as we are in Denmark
I love your free! Poster in the background
I'm flying with a fursuit for the first time to Megaplex on Thursday and I actually found a good carry on bag for the suit head but what I do is pack her partial shirt in with the head to protect her eyes then pack her underarmor and socks around it to keep her head from moving around and the likes. It definitely depends on the head and the maker. MFL doesn't have a foam backing to the head so it easily lies flat. But again it all depends on the size of the suit and the make of the head. This is actually very similar to how I packed up my partial with the hard back suitcase so I'm glad I've been doing it right XD
Thank You this really does help me, you see I live in England and most conventions are in America or at least not in England. So know I know how to take my fursuit over personally I only have a partial so I would only maybe need one case. Thank you ❤️
OMG I LOVE YOUR SUIT 😍😍😍
Awesome Suit
Excellent presentation - I will have my bear fursuit in 2019 and I'm in Southern California. I'm debuting Joe Bear at FWA in Atlanta, and my fursuit maker is in South Carolina, who will present my bear to me in Atlanta. I'm super concerned about bringing my new fursuit back on American - thanks for these tips, as I feel a bit more comfortable about flying back to L.A. with Joe Bear
I make use of vacuum bags when flying with my suit, as it allows me to get all of my stuff in 1 checked bag (easier to manage). And while I do have my head as a carry-on, I keep it in a zipped duffel bag, because it's less conspicuous that way (and my head is rather long and thin, so it fits better).
this will definitely come in handy when i get a fursuit!
Attention : most international flights does only allow one suitcase and one carry-on with an extra SMALL item
you might be allowed to carry your head with you but be sure to ask the company before and tell the security before they ask you while you are in the airport
note: a garment bag is considered as a standard hand baggage item, not as an accessory
the fursuit isn't considered as luggage if you wear it during the flight :-D
This was pretty good :)
so so helpful thanks!
This is very useful because I'm seeing my dad in December and i am getting a fursuit
Very helpful! Thank you!
*Shoves muzzle in* just like that
thank you for this video!
Thanks so much for thisss!
what does security do with the head? do they ask to look inside of it or something?
I've never had any problem with it, although a TSA dog was interested in him one time. It'll just roll right through the scanner. If anything, they might ask to take a look at it, but they are fine.
Do you think using a duffle bag would work if we needed it to. I have a soft shell duffle bag that has a removable hard shell.
What about taking the head through security? Would it even fit under the scanner? D: My head is just about as big as Ragtime's
Don't have a head yet, but can say from personal experience watching others at the Pittsburgh airport that they should fit just fine. If they don't you can ask someone to hand inspect it.
If you had a partial would a duffle bag or smaller suitcase work
Good! thanks for the tips :)
About the flying and amount of baggage you can take with you it is important to mention if you are talking about local or international flights. I'm pretty sure that it is not common for an international flights to allow more than 2 pieces of luggage total (one carry in and one for check in). You could get a 2nd bag for check in but you'll usually have to pay extra money for.
i actually thought 'how to FLY with a fursuit' like fly
If I put my head in my carry on bag will they not allow it? I'm going to Hawaii and I don't want my head to get confiscated
What cons are you thinking or planning on going to in the future?
now the suit case you put Ragtimes body in looks to large to be carry on, if its a suit case that gets put on underneath the plane or another plane- is there a way to prevent it from getting lost or not? almost every time ive flown my larger case gets lost :0 im flying to fwa this year and me and my friend where thinking using ones persons carries on for all the suit stuff and the others carry on for all are personals.
most fullsuits, especially Ragtime, will NOT fit in a carry on. Lost suitcases do happen, but appropriately tag and zip your luggage and everything should be fine.
sooo....quick question i dont have a fursuit YET...but.mine is rather unique.....cuz he basically has 9 tails....so how would i go along the lines of fitting everything in a suitcase, especially the tails, and what about a train how would you carry your fursuit on a train in specific?
I am curious on what size hardtop suitcase she uses.
OMG U HAVE EXACTLY 8000 subs!!!! GJ
So I guess the mentioning of flying brought me this question; many full suit designers require a tape body, but what is the best way to have it shipped directly to the designer without risk of damaging it? Due to my occupation, for now, my time for travel is extremely limited and I would not be able to drive it there. Also, would it be better to kind of very carefully break it down into parts and stuff it or leave it all as a whole?
Can you do a video about how to pack a partial suit? I might need it because I might be able to go to a furry con for my birthday in August.
thanks a lot (also love your fursuit)
I never flew. But I rode on a Train with a Fursuit twice now. It's about the same way as what you explained here. However I remember the first time I rode a Train with my Fursuit and I had my Fursuit head with me out and has a Carry on bag. I had so many stares and questions about it it wasn't funny XD I was also so paranoid when I had to leave my seat for any reason that I either carried my head with me throughout the cars (To get to the Dinning Car). And instead of putting up in the above storage area I just hugged my fursuit like a Plushie and used the head as Pillow XD I was told though to pack the head up so that it doesn't get squashed. And it works for me :3 Now I am less paranoid with riding a train with my fursuit as I really had nothing to worry about. :3
But at the time it was when I just got my first fursuit and I heard stories on suits being stolen or going missing that it scared me XP
I would also suggest using vacuum bags as well, they will give you so much more room and are completely safe for fursuit bodies/tails/hands!
Does the TSA normally search the head? I've gotten bags pulled over for abnormally large laptops and for board games several times, and I've also seen game consoles almost always get pulled over and searched. Since this is something large, odd, and animal shaped I'm wondering if they'd search it. ;p
I love your fursuit!
What about skull DVC heads? I’m worried about cons with my skull dog.
Did you use midway airport Chicago Illinois
What's the size of that hardshell suitcase?
What style is your fursuit? I neeeeeeeeed to kno pls
I didn't know Actionpackers were known to fall apart D: Mine is holding up pretty well. I was planning on using it for travel...Can anybody give me more information on that?? because now I'm curious about when/how it's happened to people in the past
Where did you get that cool t-shirt you wear in da video?
Thank u!
Where did you get the hardshell suitcase?
Zora Campbell most luggage stores sell them
what size suitcase is that
Thanks for helping me. For that
I love Free!
THANK YOU
I cant imagine the work of traveling with a big fullsuit (espially if theres a big tail/lots of padding), yall strong
Thank you for dis
WAIT DO U HAVE A FREE! POSTER IN THE BACKROUND?!?!?!? YEYYYY OML
Weeb
I plan on making two fursuits, two different ways one of them a normal one which will be a cat and another one which will be a vampire bat and basically just a hooded onesie with wings and nothing covering the hands or feet, this is my music fursona, if i ever have to go anywhere with my suit, it will be the bat which will be east to pack
I'm guessing if ur travelling with a partial it'll be much easier to take.
Yeah in that case it will probably fit just fine in a normal suitcase.
This will really help me when I get my fursuit because I go on planes a lot to visit my mom and friends so this will be very helpful x3 ((My fursuit prob isn't as big as hers because it's a wolf ;-;))
we're did you buy him
How do u do it with digi-grade tho
The fursuit used in the video is digitigrade.
This will help in 5 years! (Hopefully) I wonder what Australian airlines will cope...
"Ragtime is a big boy" -Reinfoxy 2016
what about a resin head?
Who made your suit? It's amazing ^-^
Ragtime is so beautiful
can’t you just carry it on ur lap? i get anxious about putting things on the floor because they can slide off
But how do you fly with armor?
Awesome
What if your claws are plastic will they stop you then
no. they'll be in your checked bag anyway.
The fursuit is beautiful btw
Omg!! You have glasses!!! Do you wear them In the fursuit????
6:12 how to fursoot?
Would have been nice to see the suit packed into the smaller bag - for the sake of folks who travel to cons on public transport and want to know how to safely pack the suit into a smaller, more managable bag.
What if your padding can't come out of your legs
Is it okay If you walk inside the airport with the furry suit? can't that work?
You'll get too hot I'm afraid and if you're like me and your temperature gets messed up due to stress then it won't work
you can wear the fursuit during the flight :-D
can you wear it on the plane sense its cold on a plane?
Oli Azuru due to security risks and the terrorist threat levels increasing id recommend that you don't, plus if you're unluckily in an emergency landing it's going to really constrict you if you need to get out quickly
you can wear your full fursuit on a plane :-D it's the easiest way to get your fursuit to a convention without paying for extra luggage :-D
A shop for fursuit came up any there was a 100,000$ partial I once saw one for 43$
Wow! Did the partial look like anything special? (electronics, high quality, etc...) or was it just a scam?
