If you are planning a trip, it is wise to think carefully about the items that you are taking with you, whether you are packing them in your carryon or checked luggage. You should no longer pack just for convenience, you need to also keep in mind the air travel rules about items or materials that are allowed and the ones that are not, on the plane.
For those items that are prohibited, it is vital to note that some might only have a partial ban. This means there are some items that you can pack in your checked luggage but is not allowed in your carryon, for security reasons. Some of these items include liquids, sharp objects, large tools, and sporting goods.
Another thing to keep in mind is that even though you can pack certain items in your checked baggage that you cannot put in your carryon, some items are not permitted at all. These are any explosive or flammable materials, such as bombs, dynamite, gun powder, lighters, flares, and matches. If you attempt to bring any of these items on board with you or have them in your luggage, you will be prosecuted.
You also need to keep in mind the airline’s size and weight restrictions for your luggage, when you are packing for your trip. It would be therefore advisable to pack lightly in both your carryon and checked baggage. As some airlines are very strict, if your luggage is over the weight limit, they may charge you an extra fee and, in some cases, you would have to remove some of your items.
Passengers are urged whenever possible to only pack the necessary monetary and sentimental items. This is because there are times when your luggage may get damaged or lost.
By considering the points above when packing for your trip, it will help to make your time at the airport stress-free.
