Well have have a laptop and cover it with gold in the laptop.
Don't do a handbag just when you check do just in the plane.
I know they will control it, but I doubt that they want to open it.
Topic: HOW do you get gold onto the plane...? - page 2. (Read 2855 times)
Interesting thought, I never knew that it was illegal to take gold onto an airplane. Best thing you can do in this situation is to melt the gold into jewelry and take it on the plane that way. If it's a huge amount, i'm sure you could afford a couple of trips back and forward.
It is not illegal per se, but it is illegal to import ot in some countries as well as that you have to declare large sums of cash or goods that you import.
Obviously OP is asking for a way that does not involve reporting the gold.
Why would you not report it? Are there any benefits from this? Taxes or anything? I've only owned gold in jewelry so I have no clue has how this works out.
Why not pay taxes should not be that much for $1000
He is not talking about $1000 gold.
He stated in the OP a guy on a forum tried to charge him $1000 for the info on how to smuggle gold on to plane, so I assume its gold worth substantially more than $1000.

Melt it into the shape of metal barbell weights then paint it and package it up with exercise gear.
Even better, hollow out some weights and fill them with the poured gold. 
I like coincube's idea. For instance melt some gold and in form it to 5 or 10 pounds kettlebells.Spray it with some black paint and done.
Beside that put 2 light, real dumbbell weights plust bar.If you got asked say you're a sports junky.
Coat the gold with zinc or iron, and label it "Tungsten".
Tungsten has about the same density as gold, but costs about USD23/kg.
Scammers have sometimes tried to fill gold bars with tungsten since the adulterated bar would pass a water displacement test.

Right... Then when they ask you about the metals, you just say you're bringing the tungsten as a gift for a friend's kids. Kids love tungsten, dont you know!?

Well is better to not do that is not safe to just have a gold in the plane.
I doubt that the security won't notice about the gold.

I don't think you can avoid this without declaring it. Seems like a difficult thing to do.
Why would you want to do this in the first place?

Why would you want to do that? Are you trying to get your gold stolen? Are you trying to knock out your back?

well it is known that moving gold is not very convenient, and troublesome, you can magical teleport it where you need it, like you can with electronic payment
it's one of the reason why i dismissed it completely

If it's not to many, turn it into jewelry and wear it going to the airport 
I don't think they will question anyone for wearing to much bling bling but if it's a lot like in gold bullion.
Much better if you just declare it so if anything bad happens it's covered by the plane owner.

You take one of those male birthcontrole rubber things and put one unit in it, then eat it. When you arrive at your destination, you go po po and the you have it! wooops wrong topic 
In all honesty, i don't know. Maybe try to make a lady friend who works as a steward to take it for you?
Why would anyone have to jump through such incredibly uncomfortable hoops just to transport $1000 worth of gold. OP, you did say $1000, right? That's one ounce. I don't think you have to do anything weird to do this, but I don't know your country's laws. Come to think of it, I don't know my country's laws either but it's not illegal to own gold, I know that, and I don't think that if I had a gold coin in my pocket anyone at the airport would give me crap about it. You could always ship it. In all honesty, i don't know. Maybe try to make a lady friend who works as a steward to take it for you?
It depends how much you have.
If you have alot, you could consider melting it down and alloying it with another metal to make it less detectable. Then you could use it as something innocuous. At the destination it's a simple procedure to de-alloy (that's not a technical term) the metal and get back to pure gold and you don't lose any of the original.
Of course this is only worth it if you have alot of gold since the cost of melting is high (it requires special facilities).
Otherwise you can transport it by vehicle or even through the mail if you're careful. There are many ways.
Gold is actually relatively easy to disguise and there is a whole black market that exists around resmelting gold. If you're interested take a look at what happened to the Brinksmat gold in the uk in the 1980s.

...
Let's say 20 ounces. Just theoretically. That makes up a plastic tube of Gold Eagles (a Mint tube), and would weigh less than 2 lbs, but still is about 3" * 1.5" * 1.5" tube measurement.
The stewardess idea seems the best so far, but then you would have to trust her...
Turning them into exercise weights (painted black) would seem to be a pain in the butt, and you would then have to assay your Au upon arrival "over there". Still, that might work...
But, the weirdo/whacko I mentioned said there was a great way to get gold onto the plane, and I don't think he meant a private jet (a great idea if you are VERY RICH).

Yes, you can take ANY amount of gold (or even currency) out of the USA freely as odolvlobo mentioned. But, you do have to report it if total value of what you are taking is over $10,000.
That would attract the attention of TSA (probably Customs and other cops, who might confiscate it even though legal: "Asset Forfeiture") as well as fellow passengers, who might rat you out upon arrival. Can't be too careful.

Second for why it's not legal in the first place? And couldn't you just put it in something that already would show up anyway, like a computer?
Some countries do not allow the import or export of gold or charge heavy taxes.
