If you have purchased an air ticket and if this is your first airline travel then this article is for you. You need to require knowing that are the thing or items you need to carry when you are travelling by air. It is because proper planning and packing the necessary items for travel. Because every airline has baggage policy, these are not very stringent, but it has security issues.
It is necessary to know what can you pack in your carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at airport. Even if any item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process. It appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns.
Here is the list of items that you can bring while travelling in an airplane:
Tools
There are certain small tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers, are permitted in the airline baggage, as long as they are seven inches or less in length. It is also allowed you to carry-on nail clippers, pill cutters, and small scissors with blades measuring 4 inches or less from the pivot point. All other tools should be securely wrapped and packed in checked baggage.
Non-flammable Liquids
Some of the non-flammable liquids like beverages, contact lens solution, shampoo, makeup products, liquid medicine, nail polish, perfume/cologne, face toner; gels like hair gel, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, face serum; and aerosols products dispensed in a pressurized spray can or bottle, like hairspray, dry shampoo, or spray-on deodorant—are allowed in your carry-on luggage.
In the carrying cases all the liquids need to be in 3.4 ounce or small container. All of the liquid, gel, or aerosol items you carry on (including food and drink) must be in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container and fit together in one single, quart-size, clear, zippered plastic bag.
So, if you have a 6-ounce tub of lotion, and you’ve already used more than half of it up, you still are not allowed to bring it through TSA security and onto the plane.
Medical Equipment
All prescription and over-the-counter medications can be carried with you on board the aircraft in unspecified quantities. There are other medical necessities including but not limited to inhalers, EpiPens, canes, casts, blood-sugar test kits, crutches, liquid nutrition for passengers with a disability, and items used for medical or cosmetic reasons, such as mastectomy products, can also be packed in carry-on bags. These items must be declared to screeners before going through security and are subject to additional screening.
Baby Fooding
The baby fooding formula, breast milk, juice, gel- or liquid-filled teethers, and canned, jarred, or processed baby food are permitted on board the airplane if you are carrying a baby or a small child. These items do not need to meet the 3-1-1 rule like other liquids/gels do, but must be removed from your carry-on luggage, declared to screeners before going through security, and are subject to additional screening. In addition to food and formulas, baby wipes, child car seats, and baby carriers can be taken through security and onto the airplane.
Expensive Items
Although not an official requirement, gold jewellery, currency, and other valuable items should always be carried with you, provided they meet security regulations.
Vaping Devices and razors
As long as the amount of vaping liquids and e-cigarettes you are carrying onboard is less than 3.4 ounces, it is allowed through security—quantities larger than 3.4 ounces must be checked. However, battery-powered e-cigarettes, vaporizers, vape pens, atomizers, and electronic nicotine delivery systems can only be taken onboard the aircraft in your carry-on or on your person. The FAA prohibits all of these devices in checked bags. Both disposable and electric razors are allowed in either carry-on or checked luggage.
Wedding Dress
You can carry a wedding dress through security and onto your flight, but take precautions first. You have to pack the dress carefully and thoroughly in a protected garment bag. Contact your airline to ask about their policy for stowing the garment safely in the cabin and whether it counts as your carry-on item (you may be charged extra). In addition, you should arrive early to the airport to ensure you get through security and to the gate early enough to talk with an airline agent about stowing the dress onboard.
Small Pets
The small pets are allowed to travel with passengers through security checkpoints, but it’s your responsibility to contact the airline for their specific policy. The pets need to be taken out of their carrier (which will also need to go through security) and screened by security.
Matches and Lighters
The passengers may carry on common lighters and one book of safety matches—however, strike-anywhere matches are prohibited in both checked and carry-on luggage. No matches, including safety matches, are permitted in checked baggage.
Batteries
You can pack dry batteries in either carry-on or checked bags. Lithium batteries with 100 watt hours or less may be carried on the plane or checked, as long as they’re in a device—loose lithium batteries may be only be carried on and cannot be checked.
Knitting Needles
Materials for knitting and needlepoint are allowed in carry-on bags and checked luggage. Make sure any knitting needles are wrapped or otherwise protected to prevent injuring luggage handlers and inspectors.
Gifts
Wrapped presents can be carried on board, provided the contents meet safety and security regulations. But since security screeners may unwrap gifts for inspection, it’s advisable to leave presents unwrapped until you reach your destination.
Electronics
Small, portable electronic items that are smaller than a standard-size laptop, such as cell phones and tablet devices, do not have to be removed from baggage during screening. Larger electronics, including laptops, full-size video-game consoles, full-size DVD players, must be removed from their cases, placed in a separate bin, and screened individually at security checkpoints.
