Traveling With Kig

Most kigs find some sort of padded box for transporting their kigurumi masks, or smaller bags like a motorcycle helmet bag for shorter trips. This area will be expanded to include various methods.

Flying with Kig

Kigs usually try to go one of two routes. Most if they can fit in a carry on will pad things up and go that route.

If they can't fit it in a carry on, "Pelican" style boxes are a popular choice. The largest you can fly with on most airlines before going oversized is the Nanuk 938

Other considerations before flying should include:

  • Remove any batteries: It should be obvious but if you have a mask with batteries, remove them.
  • Packing: Packing securely and protected is a given, but consider not to pack any objects that might increase the odds airport staff might want to open your luggage. Silicone padding or other oddly dense objects can raise a flag.
  • Insurance: Many airlines will not cover damage to your luggage or mask. Consider booking via a credit card that offers free travel insurance if you have one. Most still will not cover most of the mask's cost but may at least dampen the blow.
