TRAVEL READY
TSA Compliant
Yes, every Ikigai Case is TSA compliant and meets TSA's rules for flying with pills. Our customers have been flying with them since 2021, through airport security in the US and all around the world.
Note: Every state and country has its own laws on which medications are legal. We can't tell you whether your medication is legal where you live or where you're going, so check before you travel.
Built for the trip
-
Carry-on or checked bag
TSA allows pills in your carry-on and your checked bag, with no limit on how many you bring.
-
Straight through the X-ray
Leave it in your bag. Pills don't need to be taken out or declared, and the case itself is an allowed item.
-
Won't spill in your bag
Our patented sliding lid only opens when you open it, so your pills stay put in a bouncing suitcase.
Going through security
-
Pack it in your carry-on
Put your case in your toiletry bag or carry-on, so your meds are with you on the plane. TSA recommends carrying medication on, not checking it.
-
Send it through in your bag
Your case goes through the X-ray with the rest of your bag, not through the walk-through scanner with you. Keep it out of your pockets.
-
Rather not X-ray your meds?
Ask the officer for a visual inspection instead. Ask before your bag goes into the X-ray machine.

- The TSA officer at the checkpoint has the final say
Questions
Can I put my Ikigai Case in my carry-on?
Yes. TSA allows pills in pill cases in both carry-on and checked bags, as stated on TSA.gov. Just place your case inside your toiletry bag. Our customers have been flying with Ikigai Cases since 2021, through airport security in the US and all around the world.
Which medications am I allowed to travel with?
That depends on where you're going. Every jurisdiction and every country has its own rules on which pills and medications are legal, and a medication that's legal at home can be restricted or illegal somewhere else. Do your own research on the rules where you live and everywhere you're traveling, and follow them.
Who sets these rules?
TSA does, not us. Ikigai Cases isn't affiliated with or endorsed by TSA. This page summarizes what TSA says publicly on TSA.gov, and those rules can change, so check TSA.gov before you fly. The TSA officer at the checkpoint makes the final decision. This page is general information, not legal or medical advice.
Will the metal set off the metal detector?
Not if it's in your bag. Your bag goes through the X-ray, not the walk-through metal detector, so pack your case in your bag rather than your pocket.
Do my pills need to be in the original bottle?
Not for TSA. Prescription labeling is set by state law, so check your state's rules if you're unsure.
Is there a limit on how many pills I can bring?
No. TSA allows medication in pill or other solid form in unlimited amounts, as long as it's screened.
Will the lid open in my suitcase?
No. Our patented sliding lid only opens when you open it. Each pocket clicks shut, so a bumped bag won't spill your pills.
Don't take our word for it
Through airport security
★★★★★
Nicest pill case I've ever owned/seen. At first, I was a little nervous about traveling overseas with it in my carry-on, but it has never been a problem, even in London or at IAD. (two airports that are notoriously tough in their security shakedowns.)
★★★★★
Worked SO great for traveling! I was able to put ALL my supplements in for the entire week!! My husband thought I might get flagged at security in the airport because it’s metal - but I did not! My two engravings of Bible verses make it simple at a glance to know which is my AM and which is my PM side. Although it’s engraved inside as well!
★★★★★
I love this glam vitamin & pill case! It makes traveling and keeping up with my vitamin schedule so easy. I've taken it through security at airports in the US & Europe with no problems! It holds enough for a month-long trip.
I also love how stylish it is and that you can monogram the lid and inside with days of the week.
This is NOT your grandma's pill case!
★★★★★
These are amazing cases. They are really cool to look at. They are strong as heck. And holds lots of pills. I ordered two for myself, both monogrammed to match my car's personalized license plates! Yup, I'm corny like that... I'm the Homeman! These cases just vacationed with me for two weeks and traveled to Greece and Türkiye. No problems with any airport security. These are so worth the price. Love it!
Closed tight in the bag
★★★★★
I bought the regular sized magnetic pill boxes. They are extremely high quality! I love the personalization option as well as their return policy. I just returned from a vacation and carried these in my carry-on. No issues with TSA and they stayed together and closed. No vitamins were lost in my backpack. I will definitely purchase again if my medication needs change. Thank you for a great product!
★★★★★
Seriously the most solid over built pill case you can buy. Craftsmanship is second to none. Will not open in suitcase when bounced around airport to airport. They are expensive, but quality is. You will not regret this purchase.
★★★★★
These cases come in handy especially when traveling. Recently I bought another 2 pack as we were to spend 8days in Paris. I took 4 total cases am and pm doses and had no problem through TSA or forgetting to take my meds on time or which dose I took. Always amazed with this product.
★★★★★
Love the security of having this stay closed in my luggage on flights.
