Need a bit of advice/help

Regarding FAA/US baggage regulations, and international flight regulations (at least to the USA).

I plan on bringing my 39inch LARPing longsword to the october event, will be travelling Emirates via Dubai to JFK international, then to Philly via laGaudia.

I looked at the TSA guidelines in terms of domestic travel, and its fine to bring the prop through LGA to Philly, but just wondering if anyone knows how I'd go with international travel, if I can put it in my checked baggage?

Thanks in advance.

I brought some actual swords and knives out of Saudi Arabia in my checked baggage .  It has been about five years though

Check with somebody at TSA via website

Lucky you. My little brother tried to bring a nice dagger back from bali, and got a customs embargo. The Queen seized it for herself.

Anyhow, I will go through the TSA website. Thanks for that. Its six months so even if I buy something over there.

I travel internationally often. I've been to the UAE i'm not sure they'll let you bring the sword. The rules vary a lot, So i'd call their conciliate and ask, before you bring it. No one wants to fly 14 hours and be denied entry, trust me, it's happened to me and its not fun.

Just to query, and clarify as well. I will be taking the sword in HOLD baggage, not as carry-on, and I won't be actually outside the airport in dubai hopefully.

Also, in case of inability to be able to bring the prop, what would be the best course of action.

Best way would be to ship it UPS to somebody here in the states
They could bring it to game
