United States — TSA
Mano:
SÍ
Yes, an Xbox or PlayStation is allowed in carry-on. It goes through the X-ray like a laptop, in its own bin.
Bodega:
SÍ
Yes, consoles are allowed in checked bags too — but carry-on is far safer for a fragile, theft-prone device.
Flying internationally? Security follows the country you depart from — the authority above applies at your departure airport. Customs at arrival is separate.
Reglas específicas por aerolínea
A console in its own case does not count separately if it fits inside your carry-on bag. A full-size console box may count as your one cabin bag — check your airline’s size limits below.
Calculate Your Device’s Watt-Hours (Wh)
Airlines enforce battery rules in Watt-Hours, not mAh. Calculate your exact capacity and verify flight eligibility.
