I assume I should just put it in my carry-on, since I would have to empty my pockets and my girlfriend would see it...Is it safe though? I just always think of Meet the Parents

Yes, put it in your carry-on bag. Do not, under any circumstances hide it in your checked luggage.

rkkwan

Not in your pocket, but inside your carryon. She won't see it.

Why would you have to empty your pockets? I have never had to do that at any airport. A ring will not set of metal detector or else everyone wearing a ring would set them off.

That said, in your carryon would be fine.

Put it in your jacket - it has to go through the X-Ray machine and at worst you propose whilst being wanded

rkkwan

Or tell the GF it's for someone else.

rkkwan, tsk tsk!

gail

Swallow it before the trip.

Put it with a bunch of other lead or steel rings and things and if she happens to see it on the Xray, she won't have a clue what it is.

rkkwan

Punch a hole in your ear (or eyebrow or some other body parts) and wear it on the outbound trip. She won't realize it's for her.

Put it through her nose
