We understand this is a sensitive time, and we treat cremated remains with care and respect. You may bring cremated remains in both carry-on and checked bags, though we strongly recommend placing them in your carry-on for peace of mind, as well as traveling with the cremation certificate. For TSA screening, please use a container made of lightweight material (such as wood or plastic) that can be scanned. TSA officers will not open the container, even if requested, so an opaque container may not be allowed.

Drones are accepted on Avelo Airlines as both checked and carry-on baggage provided all batteries are removed from the item and carried in your carry-on bag. Fees may apply.
