Gel Question

[klwdisney]

Gel insoles in shoes... are they allowed in my shoes on the plane?

Oh and... if I have a small can of aerosol hairspray in my quart-sized baggie, is that safe in the pressurized cabin of the plane or will it explode? And how about if I throw a backup can in my checked luggage? Is pump hairspray safer?

Thanks! 24 days!!!

The gel inserts can be in your suitcase but you can't take them through the security checkpoint.

Your can of hairspray will be just fine in your checked luggage.

ok thanks! i was afraid the hairspray would explode under pressure. haha

glad i asked about the gel inserts. i won't bring them on the plane.

weird extra question. DH has loafers that are dr. schols brand and have built in gel pads inside. they won't cause a problem will they? he's refusing to bring backup shoes (im sneaking sneaks/socks in the suitcase anyway).

Oh my! I just bought 2 pairs of these for me and DH! I better be allowed to wear them on the plane. These are the only shoes I was planning on taking.

I would bring another pair of shoes. If the TSA can see the gel they will refuse the shoes.

Just found this...

"Gel shoe inserts - Gel shoe inserts are not permitted, but shoes constructed with gel heels are allowed and must be removed and screened. Read more on our shoe screening policy."

But it doesn't really talk about gel inserts or heels there, either. Do you think the Dr. Scholls shoes are OK then? Since they are built-in?

When in doubt don't try it. Do you want to walk through the airport barefoot?

My running shoes are made with gel in the heels (even says "gel" on the tongue). I wore them, knowing that

. . . shoes constructed with gel heels are allowed and must be removed and screened.

No problem whatsoever.
