In honor of TSA Appreciation Day, Netflix debuted a fun and practical exclusive clip featuring Sofia Carson, who stars as Mia, one of the key players in Carry-On.

From must-have travel accessories to tips for keeping your bag TSA-compliant, Carson adds a lighthearted touch to the high-stakes tone of the film.
The Significance of TSA Appreciation Day
Today also marks the 23rd birthday of the TSA, which was created on November 19, 2001, in response to the 9/11 attacks. TSA Appreciation Day, first declared by the City of Philadelphia in 2019, encourages travelers to take a moment to thank TSA agents for their often-overlooked service. While their job may sometimes slow us down during busy holiday travel, it’s their dedication that helps keep us safe.
Carry-On takes a closer look at the pressures and challenges faced by TSA agents, making its release during the holiday season and on the heels of TSA Appreciation Day especially poignant.
Carry-On premieres December 13th, 2024, only on Netflix.
