How Do You Know What You Can And Can Carry On Board An Aircraft?
• Keep a list of relevant websites in your bookmarks folder to check before you travel. The best sites to check are: • your country’s transport or aviation department or ministry (or maybe foreign/external affairs); and • the airline(s) you are travelling with. • You will also need to check the relevant government sites of countries you will be travelling within and from. • Another way to check is to call your airline or local airport and ask; or even visit your airport before leaving to view any lists that they may have on display. • Write down or copy your Internet list so that when you are actually travelling, you can check at an Internet terminal just before returning by aircraft whether or not the status of carry-on goods has been updated and changed. • In general, be aware that as of August 2006, the following items are no longer allowed to be carried on board: weapons, sticks, sporting goods, musical instruments, gels & gel-based products, liquids, non-essential medical supplies
