2021 was an odd one for travel, with so many COVID-related unknowns throughout the year. But that didn’t stop passengers from bringing along some odd things in their carry-ons and checked baggage. See the video above for the TSA’s Top Ten Catches of 2021.

Much like many of the amenities on the list of Best Airport Amenities of 2021 we shared with The Points Guy site this week. The list of […]
Once again, it looks like someone is having a little too much fun with the Transportation Security Administration’s social media accounts. The TSA has a handy “What Can I Bring?” tool that is part of the agency’s standing offer to help travelers figure out what they may and may not put in their carry-on bags […]
