QUESTION: Cabin baggage and rules: what can and cannot be brought into cabin baggage?

The rules for carrying items in cabin baggage are based on ensuring the safety of all passengers on board the aircraft, which is why the list of permitted and prohibited items is strictly regulated by international civil aviation standards. You are allowed to bring most personal items needed for the journey into the aircraft cabin, including electronics, documents, valuables, medications, and clothing. At the same time, it is important to remember specific restrictions on certain categories of items that might seem harmless at first glance.

To know for sure what you can put in your bag, you should study the basic categories of permitted and prohibited items in advance.

Special attention should be paid to food products and medications in liquid or gel form. Solid foods such as chocolate, cookies, or fruit can be carried without restrictions, but exotic fruits or soft cheeses may raise questions at security due to their consistency. If you are carrying specific medical products, such as insulin or prescription liquid medicines, bring a doctor's note in English to avoid misunderstandings when passing through security control at the departure airport.
