Air travel can be a pain for anyone but may be particularly tough for the spanking enthusiast, both tops and bottoms alike. There are sometimes unique considerations that most travelers don’t have to think about and special planning may be necessary to make a trip go smoothly.
1. Sitting On A Sore Butt – For bottoms out there, a weekend of intense play at a party or with a long distance play partner can mean one tender bruised behind. Sure you want to feel the effects of your discipline and may enjoy squirming in your seat a bit after a spanking, but long flights may translate to more discomfort than you bargained for. There’s no place to stand and get relief in such tight quarters and shifting around constantly not only annoys fellow passengers but really doesn’t do much to alleviate the problem. What’s a tender tush to do?
- Sit on a soft pillow. Sure you may get a funny look, but I’m sure most passengers would agree that airplane seats aren’t the most comfortable to start with. Who’s to know you don’t have a tailbone injury or perhaps your legs otherwise go numb on long trips?
- Take a mild OTC pain reliever if you can. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of lingering soreness to enjoy later once it wears off.
- Wear comfortable pants or a flowing skirt. Now is not the time to pour yourself into tight jeans. Your bottom may be swollen and you don’t want to add to your distress by constricting the area.
- Prepare for the pain upon standing up again. No matter what you do, you’re going to feel a sudden surge of pain upon rising as your muscles shift and blood flow to the area increases. I always imagined my bottom decompressing and popping back into shape as the wave of pain hit.
2. Packing Your Toys – Perhaps you have an extensive toy collection and you want to bring many of your pieces with you. But with baggage restrictions, that may not be possible without a hefty fee. If you pack a separate toy bag you’ll be hit with a second bag charge. Go over on weight and you have to fork over a fee for that too. Talk about an “ouch”! Probably best to pick just a few favorites to bring along especially if you prized pieces are wooden paddles or large straps. Those things add up in weight quickly. And if you are attending a large party with vending, you may want to leave enough room in your bag for a few new toys to add to your collection.
You could also try taking your toys in your carry-on to avoid the fees, but that idea has its own issues.
3. Toys In the Carry-On – First, not everything is going to easily fit in a bag that has to be stowed under the seat or overhead compartment. I did once see a fellow party goer take an obvious disciplinary cane outside of a bag or other packaging as simply as if it were a fashionable walking cane. Perhaps only another spanking enthusiast would even give it a second glance.
A carry-on stuffed with every imaginable toy may raise an eyebrow of TSA as it passes through the scanner, but I’m sure they airport staff has seen way stranger things than spanking implements. That said, one time my bag was pulled aside for a more thorough search and I must have turned a hundred shades of red as a number of toys tumbled out including a hairbrush and a large paddle that had been decorated with paintings of bare, red upturned bottoms.
You see, they just don’t provide customized spanking related advisories like this on travel sites. Live and learn! Do you have any travel tips for the spanko on the go?

Interesting as I’m 12 days away from flying (vacation).
Never thought about it, but I’m sure I’ll be looking for folks sitting more gingerly than most.
But shouldn’t this have read: “Take a mild OTK pain reliever if you can.” (LOL)

Once, a friend from back East UPSed all his toys to me, so I could bring them to the Shadow Lane party for him (I was driving, he was flying). If you have a buddy system in place with locals, that can be very helpful (as long as the recipient can be trusted to not hurl the shipment into the Dumpster).

Only one advisory: Disband the TSA.

The last time a mutual friend spanked me she lovingly referred to me as a pain slut. Since I have to travel over 6 hours by air, I definitely experience the tailbone pain from sitting.
And THEN there’s the post spanking soreness to account for.
I truly do revel in the soreness so I never sit on pillows and I almost ALWAYS wear tight jeans after a spanking. I totally agree they hold in multiple soreness sensations like abrasions, heat and YES, they CAN be a real bitch to try to wear due to swollen cheeks.
AHEM! I know a certain SOMEBODY who performed such a powerhouse spanking on ME that this is EXACTLY what happened to MY beloved cheeks! And I can’t wait for a repeat!

I can think of better ways to “board” spanking enthusiasts…

Hey Pixie!
I seem to recall our dear friend Amelia Jane Rutherford saying once that when she came across the pond to do video shoots she would invariably visit our buddy Dallas last. (Gee… I wonder why!) And then she would get on a plane and head back to the UK. Now that would be a long flight to sit on with a worn out bottom!
Hugs and best wishes,

I travel quite a bit in my quest to give “the perfect spanking to the perfect spankee” and my luggage is usually full of implements of various materials and sizes. The only concern I have now is when I go through customs (yes, I’m now an international spanker) and the customs people ask me my reason for visiting and sometimes just saying to visit a friend isn’t enough. I have started collecting the tags that indicate my baggage has been “inspected”. That doesn’t upset me but once my luggage was lost and they wanted to know if there were any easily identifiable items other than clothing. When I told the lady … I think she regretted asking since I had a list in my carry on and I told her she could make a copy of it if she wanted. (I always inventory my toys to make sure I don’t leave any behind when I get ready to return.)

Great advice, Pixie! Thank you – I would never guess an OTC painkiller would help for such kind of pain. I might need one as I am almost on my way to my long distance partner and a week of play – and going back will take connecting flights!

Hi, Pixie,
From the “Spank Me” panties to implements falling out of your carry-on bag at a TSA checkpoint, is there a pattern here? You’re not trying to tell other, non-spankaholics, that you’re into spanking and want to come out of the closet, are you?
Have you considered sending your implements by UPS or FedEx prior to your departure so your toys would be available at your destination before you arrived?
If I were to travel with toys, I would limit them to objects that might not raise suspicion, such as a hair brush or belt. At any rate, don’t underestimate our government’s ability to keep track of us from such incidental encounters, like a TSA checkpoint. Remember, databases are everywhere, the TAS uses them, and databases can be easily hacked if connected to the Internet.
As for your sore bottom, young lady, don’t you think at times you might have gone just a little overboard? It’s always good to feel some burn the day after, but if you can’t sit down even after using the airline’s crummy pillow or their excuse for a blanket, well you might just need to spend a few extra days recuperating before getting on that silver bird.
So the moral is spanking parties should always be held at exotic places so bottoms can recuperate while enjoying the scenery and resisting any temptation for another spanking!
Sorry for sounding like a parent!
Take care,
Annapurna

One time, when I was 19 or so I was travelling from the UK to Spain. While there, I met a man who said that he liked giving spankings (and was English, so we could communicate). I knew at that point that I liked receiving them, and over the month I was there I must have been given 20+ spankings. During the last couple of hours before I was due to leave for my flight, I went to say goodbye and make sure the address, phone number and email address that I’d picked up from him to talk to him were right. When I had done so, he hauled me over his lap and spanked me until I had bruises with a bathbrush which he had so-lovingly named ‘Spankarella’. The flight home was a bitch – my arse was on fire. When I got home, the first thing I did was to go my bathroom and apply some cold cream (and check out the still-red cheeks!).

Fun post and good advice Pixie!
I do not know Kelly, but I’d bet she doesn’t know the business end of Dallas’s strap with her comment about getting into her tight jeans after being spanked. But I do know a fine female bottom that always wears a loose fitting skirt with a silk – like lining and a thong underwear to avoid setting on a “panty line” for hours.
Take care of your pritty bottom Pixie

Hi Pixie, first time for me to post a comment here.
Not wanting to put a dampener on all things spanking, But I’d be wary of flying out of the continental usa, as many of the air routes are changing (especially to Australia) Qantas, in the search for a cheaper route, are now doing stopovers in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) where, I am sure, this soft of thing is deeply offensive to the authorities over there (AFAIK women are not allowed to drive) and could land you in a fair bit of strife (AFAIK they flog people for offensive things in UAE, a la holding hands or kissing in public).
All I’m saying is, if you’re doing an inter-contiental stopover gig, make sure you stay away from the countries that have not caught up to civilized society, or make sure you have diplomatic papers (although in UAE this may not stop you being held up, in transit), or as has been suggested here already, be prepared in advance to fedEx/Dhl the required tools of the trade to your location, before departing.
Whilst most international lounges are considered in-transit, in some countries you can still be arrested and or delayed even if you are acting innocently and you are in one of these transit places.
I don’t have a passport, have never applied for a visa, so the information I present here is from other sources, most probably subject to change, and may not be ‘officially’ correct at the time of writing. There. That should stop me getting an almightly flogging, possibly a trip to the headmaster, as I cannot spell for nuts, so I’m probably not completely out of harms way!

Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
