Can I bring a tennis rachet in my suitcase? And is a tote count as a carry-on bag?

Question

Would they think the rachet is a weapon? And could I bring my tote on the plane as a carry-on?

Answer 1

Call the carrier you will be on and get the answer directly from them.

Answer 2

It's okay to have the tennis racquet in your checked baggage.

Also, you can carry a tote or purse in addition to your carry-on. Check the airline's website for more details.
