Can I travel on a British Airways flight with a lightsaber I’ve purchased from Savi’s Workshop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

Last updated: 6 August, 2024

As our aircraft have less cabin space than the Star Wars™ Millennium Falcon, lightsabers from Savi’s Workshop need to be carried in your checked baggage.

Lightsabers are too long to be carried as part of your hand baggage as the maximum permitted length of items in the cabin is 56cm (22”).

You must dismantle your lightsaber for travel. The longest part should fit diagonally into a standard suitcase as it's around 79cm (31”) long.

If you arrive with a lightsaber in its soft carry case at the airport bag drop or the gate, it may be checked into the hold, and you could be charged for an extra bag.

You can also pack your lightsaber into a long rigid cardboard postal tube and check it in as hold baggage. There may be an extra charge if it takes you over your free baggage allowance.
