Last updated
Ever wondered if you can take your Nintendo Switch on a plane? Let’s clear that up once and for all.
So, can you actually bring your beloved Nintendo Switch on a plane? Absolutely, let’s dive into the how and why.
Yes, You Can Take Your Nintendo Switch on a Plane
Taking your Nintendo Switch on a plane is totally fine. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows passengers to bring electronic devices like the Nintendo Switch on board. It counts as a personal electronic device, similar to laptops and tablets.
However, during security checks, you’ll need to remove it from your carry-on bag and place it in a separate bin for X-ray screening. This is a standard procedure for most electronics larger than a cell phone. Once you’re through security, you can pack it back up and enjoy gaming at 30,000 feet.
