Overview
- UK outlets reported Thursday that Ryanair’s website lists darts as not permitted in hand luggage and only allowed in checked bags.
- The policy treats darts as sharp, pointed items that could be used to cause injury under standard aviation security rules.
- Passengers who put darts in carry-ons risk confiscation at security and may face delays at the checkpoint.
- A Reddit thread that prompted the coverage featured practical tips such as checking darts, taking them apart into barrels, stems and flights, and using a luggage tracker.
- Rules can vary by airline and airport, so travelers should check their carrier’s baggage guidance before they pack sports or hobby gear.
