FAQ
Does Trip Gear Scout personally test every product?
No. We compare specifications, retailer information, owner feedback themes and practical travel constraints. When we do not have hands-on testing, we say so.
Are airline rules the same everywhere?
No. Size, weight, liquids and battery rules can vary by airline, airport and route. Always check current carrier or official guidance before departure.
