How to Change My Skyway Luggage Lock

When changing the lock for your Skyway luggage keep in mind how you will use it. Traveling in a private vehicle or on board a bus or a train means no security checkpoints, so the only thing that matters is choosing the most convenient luggage lock with the aim of keeping the things you are carrying safe. However, when traveling on commercial airplanes within the United States the Transportation Security Administration might inspect luggage and it has rules governing luggage locks. Recently manufactured Skyway luggage comes with a TSA approved combination luggage lock.

      Pick a TSA approved luggage lock if you plan to travel on airplanes with your Skyway luggage. TSA officers have a "master" key for all TSA approved luggage locks and can open them to inspect luggage and then re-lock your bag. Packaging on luggage locks indicates that a particular lock is TSA compatible, according to the TSA website.
