What can I do and what can I take with myself on the plane?

 

I will fly by air for the first time! I am very excited, but I also think that I need to prepare with the necessary information. For example, I have no idea how many pounds and what hand baggage I have right, but it's important because I do not want to share my favorite razor with customs and it is, moreover, forbidden in my hand luggage.

 

The first thing I need to know is that when I enter the airport at the airport, my hand luggage must be checked by passing a manual scan, X-ray equipment, explosive detection systems, or trained explosive detection dogs. a standard procedure that should not bother me.

 

In most cases I am entitled to one piece of hand baggage, which should not exceed 55x40x20 cm. These are the allowable sizes for most airlines, and the luggage weight can not exceed 10 kilograms. This is important because some companies can force me to pay the excess weight on their tariff. So it's a good thing before I go to the airport to check the rules of the airline I'm going to travel to, so as not to be asked to pay extra for the manual load.

 

Interesting:

For business or first class flights of regular airlines, some weight restrictions on hand baggage are dropped. It is common when traveling with a low-cost company that children are not entitled to any luggage other than manual.

 

What can I NOT carry in my hand luggage?

In my hand luggage I have the right to carry anything that is not in the airline's ban list. It is logical, of course, that I am forbidden to carry in my luggage:

 

Explosives and flammable substances, including fireworks and other pyrotechnic means;

Guns, firearms;

Stunning devices; Such as electric shock.

Items with a pointed tip or sharp edge;

Work tools - those tools that could endanger the safety of the aircraft, including: iron levers, drills and others;

Dumb Instruments - Items that can be used to cause serious bodily injury including: baseball and softball bats, sticks or sticks, such as police batons, martial arts equipment, etc .;

Important!

I need to know that in my hand luggage, liquids, aerosols and gels are prohibited, exceeding 100 milliliters taken together. Customs officers also have the right to test the product to make sure it is not dangerous. Here we include drinks, liquid foods, creams, sprays, perfumes and any other similar products. Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule.

 

It is possible to carry such items in your hand luggage if:

 

If in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 milliliters or equivalent, in a transparent, opening and closing plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 liter;

If they are going to be used during the trip and are needed for health reasons (for example, insulin that is life-saving for me) or because of a special diet, including baby food.

If I have acquired the liquid in the area on the landing and landing site of the airport (so-called Duty Free Stores), I have to put it in a special envelope for verification.

If the liquor is acquired at another European Union airport or on board an aircraft of the European Union sealed in a special Envelope Check Envelope.

These special integrity checks must be clearly marked as special to that airport and contain proof that the purchase or re-seal was made at that airport within the preceding three hours.

 

I'm literally in the clouds! It was not so scary to travel by plane. I registered my hand baggage and had no problems at the customs because I did not pick up any of the above-mentioned prohibited articles. My only liquid was a 100 ml perfume, which I duly put in a transparent plastic bag. I sat comfortably on my seat and can now safely enjoy the flight, watching over the miniature looking world
