Yes, you are permitted to pack a travel kettle in your suitcase in 2026, and it can be placed in either your carry-on or checked luggage. However, there are a few practical considerations to keep in mind regarding international travel and voltage. If you are traveling between regions with different electrical standards (such as from the UK to the USA), you must ensure your kettle is dual-voltage or that you have a converter capable of handling high-wattage heating elements; otherwise, you risk blowing a fuse or damaging the device. Many frequent travelers prefer to pack their own kettle for hygiene reasons or to ensure they can make tea in hotels that only provide coffee pod machines. Be aware that some cruise lines and certain boutique hotels have strict "fire safety" policies that prohibit the use of external heating appliances in guest rooms; while you can pack it, using it might technically violate the terms of your stay. Always ensure the kettle is completely empty and dry before packing to prevent leaks that could damage your clothes or electronics during transit.
