QUESTION: What is prohibited to carry on an airplane?

Safety rules at airports and on board aircraft regulate the list of prohibited items, and ignorance of these norms can lead to delays or confiscation of property. It is strictly forbidden to carry any liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers with a volume exceeding one hundred milliliters in hand luggage, even if the bottle is only half full. All such products must be packed in a single transparent plastic bag with a volume of up to one liter.

Sharp objects and tools are also prohibited for carriage in the aircraft cabin. Scissors with a blade length of more than six centimeters, pocket knives, metal nail files, and knitting needles must be checked into the baggage hold. A regular pocket lighter is allowed to be carried exclusively on your person in a single copy, while turbo lighters or gas-refillable lighters are often completely prohibited.

As for electronics, modern rules strictly regulate the transportation of lithium batteries and external chargers. Power banks can be transported exclusively in hand luggage, with devices with a capacity of up to one watt-hour accepted without restrictions, batteries from one hundred to one hundred and sixty watt-hours requiring special airline permission, and more powerful batteries completely prohibited. Regular lithium batteries must also be in the aircraft cabin.

It is forbidden to transport explosives, flammable liquids, compressed gases, and weapons without appropriate permits in checked baggage. Strict phytosanitary and veterinary rules apply to international flights. The import of meat and dairy products into many countries of the world is completely prohibited to prevent the spread of infections, so perishable food is best eaten before landing.
