Carrying jewelry and watches at the airport
As we prepare for holidays and air travel, it is important to know how to handle jewelry during security checks. So let's see what to do to get through these checks without problems, thanks to the valuable advice provided by the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Jewelry
Let's start with the basic rule: bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings can be worn without problems. Even if a small piece of jewelry might trigger the metal detector, there is no reason to worry, as it does not compromise passing through security control. However, it is always better to store jewelry in carry-on luggage, especially if they are bulky. Avoid leaving them in plastic trays, especially if they are valuable pieces or have great sentimental importance, to minimize the risk of loss.
It is not recommended to put jewelry in checked luggage, as in case of loss they would not be reimbursed at their full value. In this case, it is better to undergo a check or a search to avoid losing precious jewelry.
Piercing
Unfortunately, most piercings will trigger the metal detector. If you wear simple earrings, it is advisable to remove them before going through security checks. For piercings in more delicate areas, try to wear something minimalist. Don’t worry too much: just inform security that you are wearing a piercing and you will be searched calmly.
Watches
Also for watches, it is always advisable to remove them and store them in your carry-on luggage. Be careful with trays and carry-on bags: unfortunately, it is not uncommon for valuable items, such as luxury watches, to be stolen. Avoid being searched and minimize the risk of losing valuable accessories by following this simple advice.
By taking these precautions, you can travel by plane with your favorite jewelry without worries. Always remember to pay attention to details and travel calmly. Whether you are flying for work or pleasure, follow these tips to ensure a safe and stress-free journey.
Have a good trip! 🛫
