What can and can not be taken with a plane

In connection with the constantly changing rules of air travel, even experienced travelers begin to doubt the knowledge of what can not be taken with them on the plane. The list of questions is not just great, it is huge. What do you need to take in the luggage, and what can be attributed to hand luggage and take it to the salon? What and how to pack when transporting? What concerns piercing-cutting subjects which it is precisely impossible to take in salon? Can I get food on the plane, or is it forbidden?

It is advisable to receive answers to these questions in advance, even before packing the baggage, and not at the airport itself on the eve of the flight. Otherwise, you will either have to repackage your bags urgently and hand over the things forbidden to the transporters, or show miracles of charity and give them to those who have just got off the plane. There is another option - to take the ticket and nowhere on this day not to fly, devoting it (day) to the study of the rules of carriage of luggage. And you can act smartly and find out in advance what you can not take with you on the plane.

Let's start. First of all, you can not take weapons and various explosives. This prohibition is understandable and does not need explanations. If you are going to fly for the weekend on the Yenisei, dreaming to hunt wild boars there, then you will have to arrive at the airport not for an hour, as expected, but much earlier. At the same time, do not forget to have documents at home confirming your right to own weapons. Before registering, indicate in the documents what you want to hand over weapons. To the registration desk, special employees will fit, which will pack your gun according to safety requirements. In flight, it will be in a special compartment, the entrance to which is prohibited not only to passengers, but also to the crew.

The same applies to cold weapons. In general, in what can not be taken with you on a plane, there is no full agreement among airlines. The rules vary depending on the policy of the company. The most notorious manicure scissors can be used as illustrations, which they forbade carrying to the salon, recognizing a dangerous weapon in them. But in general, the differences are minimal, although it is better to specify them in advance.

Mums flying with babies need to remember that according to current rules, carrying liquids in hand luggage is allowed, but only in containers that do not exceed 100 ml. This applies not only to nutritional formulas for babies, but also to lotions for the face, and to everything that falls into the definition of "liquid". At the same time, you do not need to consider yourself to be the smartest and hope to bring 100 bottles of 100 ml to the salon. The total volume of transported liquid should not exceed one liter. Also, we do not advise you to confuse airline employees by informing them that according to the latest scientific data, glass is also recognized as a liquid. It is possible that the employees of this day will be hard with a sense of humor, and you will be taken away even the coveted bottle of Duty Free. By the way, when buying in Duty Free, be sure to take a check and keep it with you, and tasting the purchased product postpone for later. According to the rules of transportation, the packaging of bottles must be whole.

From the list of things you can not take with you on a plane, you need to distinguish, in addition to the piercing-cutting objects, also gas cartridges, which include aerosol deodorants. But there are no official bans on the transportation of products in hand luggage, although there are cases where it is forbidden to take certain types of products to the salon at certain airports with enviable regularity.
