Jalopnik’s David Tracy did the motoring world a solid and proved that, among the 120 pounds of car tools and parts he packed, the power steering fluid-soaked steering box wrapped in what looks like saran wrap made it through TSA just fine.įor example, if you’d like to haul car parts with you on Delta you’re allowed two checked in bags, individual weight of each bag under 50 pounds each and one free carry-on that has to fit in overhead storage, no weight limitations.Ĭhecked bags must not exceed 62 inches (totalling length+width+height.)ĭepending on the airline, you can, for an extra fee, carry multiple bags, oversized and overweight too.ĭelta, for example, allows up to 10 bags per passenger, each up to 100 pounds and combined linear inches up to 80 inches. The TSA actually explicitly says they allow car parts given a handful of stipulations.įirst, car parts must be free of traces of gas or oil, which means you probably should thoroughly clean any car parts that have fuel or oil residue to increase your chances of a smooth check-in.Īlthough TSA says “car engine parts may be placed in checked bags only if the parts are packed in their original box and free of gasoline and oil” I’ve come across multiple instances where car engine parts weren’t packed in their original box but had traces of gas and oil still on it and made it onto Domestic flights, no problem.
