Has anyone flow with the RS3/RS2? It seems the safest option is to have it in your carry on but I was wondering if there was anything sensitive that could be damaged if it was placed in a checked.
General rule of thumb for flights, whatever you don’t want missing or damaged, bring as a carry-on. If you check it, make sure you put in a good travel case with foam to protect it from being thrown around and hit hard on things.

We fly all the time with them. They aren’t more susceptible to damage than any other electronics, but we usually bring them carry-on because they’re quite dense and we’re always real close to the 32kg limit per checked item.
We’ve put them on equipment pallets, got them carried cargo in smaller Pelican cases, and nothing’s ever broken. The cases bear many mishandling scars.

Hi @luis.navarrete,
Reach devices are designed to be impact-resistant, and they use a shock absorber, which helps them remain intact in most situations.
RS3 and RS2 have built-in Li-Ion battery, which requires them to be on a carry-on, not suitable for the baggage. A lot of our users travel with Reach devices without any issues at all. All the necessary information should be on the device itself, but it’s always best to double-check with the aircraft company if they have any additional rules for it.
