Beard Trimmer
Beard trimmers are allowed in carry-on without restriction; cordless models with a built-in lithium battery should travel in carry-on rather than checked bags.

Carry-on details
Allowed. A beard trimmer has no exposed blade during normal use, so it's treated as a standard electronic device. Cordless, rechargeable trimmers are fine to leave packed in your carry-on for screening.
Checked-bag details
Allowed for corded-only trimmers. Most beard trimmers are cordless with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery — those should travel in carry-on, not checked bags, so a crew member can respond if the battery overheats. A trimmer that only runs plugged into an outlet (no battery) has no restriction in checked baggage.
Special instructions
If your trimmer has a removable spare battery, pack that spare in carry-on too — spare lithium batteries are never allowed in checked bags.

FAQ
- Can I put my beard trimmer in checked luggage?
- It's better to pack it in carry-on. Most beard trimmers have a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, and TSA recommends keeping lithium-battery devices in the cabin rather than checked baggage.
- Do I need to remove my beard trimmer at airport security?
- No, it can stay in your bag — TSA officers don't require it to be removed for separate screening, similar to an electric razor.
