🎯 Darts

The darts will be confiscated at the checkpoint. Dart tips — whether steel or soft — are classified as sharp pointed objects and are prohibited in carry-on baggage under TSA rules and equivalent rules in all other regions we cover. You will not be given the option to check them at the gate, so they will either be surrendered or you will need to return to the check-in counter to add checked baggage.

No — both types are prohibited in carry-on regardless of tip material. The rule applies to darts as a category of sharp pointed objects, and screeners do not distinguish between steel and soft tips when enforcing it. All darts must travel in checked baggage.

There is no flexibility. Unlike some items where individual officer discretion plays a role, darts are explicitly listed as prohibited sharp objects and screeners have no authority to make exceptions. If they appear in your carry-on X-ray, they will be removed from the bag.

Use a rigid dart case to protect the tips and flights, and make sure the case is securely closed so nothing can shift during baggage handling. Place the case inside your checked bag surrounded by soft items for extra protection. There are no restrictions on darts in checked baggage in any region, so a proper dart case is all you need.
