fedaykin Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well I've never carried my hookah as a carry on but I've never had problems putting it checked baggage. Does risk the chance of getting damaged though. The first time I did it turned out fine, the second time a small peice of my bowl was chipped. Didn't ruin it but still irked me. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to bring your hookah as a carry on if it was in a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anathema Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 just carry on the vase, bowls shouldn't be hurt at all since they're light, just put them in a few socks, remember to take them out or you'll get shisha's foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved from Oregon to Hawaii bubble wrap was my best friend...I had no problems. Also pack it in between your clothes, clothes underneath it, clothes above it. When you check in have the agent give you fragile/ glass stickers for your bag to at least alert the handlers...that's about all you can do. Hope that helps!
