What’s the tip?
Airlines don’t have specific dress codes and there is no dress code enforced by the TSA.
However, passengers have been removed or asked to change if their clothing made other passengers uncomfortable
If your costume involves a mask, you can wear it as a hat through the security checkpoint, as there are no restrictions on hats.
Keep in mind that realistic replica items and props such as guns, scythes, pitch forks, chainsaws, butcher knives, grenades, axes, bombs, swords, machetes, and other realistic weapons are prohibited from being transported in your carry-on bags.
Most replica weapons can be transported in your checked baggage, but it’s never OK to pack anything that looks like (to include but not limited to) explosives such as grenades, landmines, rocket launchers, shells and bombs.
Even if it’s a replica, anything resembling an explosive is treated as the real deal until the explosives experts can prove otherwise, which often leads to delayed flights or baggage.
