Can you check in your laptop when traveling by plane and wrap it in bubble wrap?

I will be travelling from US to ASIA.. Can you share some experience or give sources on whether it is alright to check -in a laptop because I don't want to carry it with me in the plane.



Thank you so much for your help!Can you check in your laptop when traveling by plane and wrap it in bubble wrap?You could but I wouldn't. Airlines will not cover the laptop if your bag either went missing or if it was destroyed. Also, when your bag gets screened, TSA wi have to unwrapp your bag to scan the laptop separetly. There is a huge chance that when this happens they will forget to put it back in your bag. I see this happen far too often and the customer will blame the airline. Finally you don't want to risk your bag getting broken into. This also happens way too often. The airline will assume no liability for your laptop so you should just take it with you.Can you check in your laptop when traveling by plane and wrap it in bubble wrap?I would not do that if I were you. Have you seen the way they treat our bags? They just throw them around as if no one puts anything fragile or valuable in their checked bags. By all means, bring it on the plane. You don't want to open up your suitcase and find a broken laptop, do you? Also, your luggage could get lost and your laptop would be only God knows where. If you really have to you could check it but I don't think anyone with any common sense would recommend doing that.Can you check in your laptop when traveling by plane and wrap it in bubble wrap?If I were you I would not put your laptop in your checked luggage. Laptops are not covered under what an airline is liable for. Especially if you are travelling to Asia from the US, there are too many hands and connecting points your bag has to go through.Can you check in your laptop when traveling by plane and wrap it in bubble wrap?
You can, but it's a bad idea.



If it is damaged or stolen, you're just out of luck. No one else will be responsible for it. Carry it with you!
