Are you talking about those Ziploc bags? In any case, what were you planning on storing in it? If it's just your clothes, then I think it's fine in your carry-on luggage (assuming you can fit it in). However, if you're brining liquids, you're still required to place them in a "quart-size" bag and each container of liquid is only allowed to be up to 3 ounces. Read here for more information on Airline Regulations.

they are like ziplock bags but you can store clothes in them and vacume the air out so that it saves space. I was wondering if i can use them to pack my clothes in for my regular luggage not my carry on. Is that possible?

That should be fine. Just make sure everything in the bag is visible for TSA and no item is deemed "suspicious". Otherwise, they'll open the bag to search your belongings.

They are see through, but it sucks out all the air by vaccume and compacts it, but you can see everything and will be abe to notice if anything "suspicious" is in there. Thank you for all your help.

No problem! Just so you know...if they do open it, I wouldn't count on it being all nice and neat when you get it back. I've had some instances where it looked like my luggage had been through a horrible experience. Happy travels!
