TSA and Airline Regulations
Multiple sources confirm that disposable hand warmers, including brands like HotHands and Little Hotties, are allowed on airplanes. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/hand-warmers explicitly states that hand warmers are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags. This is further supported by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/outdoor-equipment, which lists disposable warming pads as not regulated as hazardous materials for transportation. Numerous traveler forums and HotHands' own FAQ section https://hothands.com/contact-faq/ also corroborate this information.
