Last updated
Ever wondered if you can bring your beloved Nintendo Switch on a plane? Let’s clear up any confusion you might have!
So, can you actually take a Nintendo Switch on an airplane? Absolutely, yes! Let’s dive into the details.
Yes, Your Nintendo Switch Can Fly with You!
Good news, travelers and gamers alike! The Nintendo Switch is perfectly fine to bring onto an airplane. It’s treated just like any other personal electronic device by airport security.
When going through security, you’ll need to place your Switch in a bin, similar to a laptop or tablet. This is a standard procedure for most electronics, so there’s nothing to worry about. Once you’re past security, you can pack it back in your bag or carry it on with you.
Playing Your Nintendo Switch on the Plane
Not only can you bring your Nintendo Switch on the plane, but you can also play it to pass the time! Whether you’re flying across the country or just a few states over, your Switch can be your best travel buddy. Just remember to pack your headphones so you don’t disturb your fellow passengers.
Many flights offer WiFi these days, but remember, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t support inflight WiFi for online gaming. However, there’s a treasure trove of offline games to enjoy, so you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained.
