i'm not 100% sure what the restrictions are.. though i brought my europass match ball with me

i'd advise you:

1. deflate it
2. bring a pump
3. put it in your suitcase

don't deflate it too much though, because when i took it out and pumped it.. it had all these creases and stuff on it but after like a week they are nearly invisible

i wouldn't risk losing a match ball.. because at security checks and stuff at airports you can't even take drinks with you..

Deflate the ball, then pump it up when the flight is over. That's it.

Where are you going anyway?

Is the duration of the trip important ?
If so,mine is 2.5-3 hours i guess
If i couldnt buy a pump,i'll just take it as it is :dontknow:

You don't need to deflate it.. I think the ball is strong enough to not explode. Maybe it should not be the hardest possible when you take it on plan, but normally there should not happen anything.
