Now let’s talk about what you can and can’t take on a plane.

Filling a hand luggage suitcase

1. Liquid
   The most insidious question. Liquids, gels and aerosols can be carried in hand luggage if they are in plastic containers up to 100 ml and lie in a transparent 20×20 cm bag closing on a zip latch. It is not necessary to buy a special cosmetics, a transparent package for freezing fruits, for example, is also suitable. For each passenger, one package. The total volume of liquids is 1 liter. If something does not meet the standards, you will have to leave it at the airport. Remember: liquids include gel-like substances, and oily, and even mascara, toothpaste or lip gloss. Also anything that can melt and leak, like soft cheese. Alcohol must also be transported according to standards. Duty-free alcohol can be taken in larger bottles, but they must lie in a branded sealed bag with a check.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Food products
   As you know, now on board the aircraft you can carry any products with the exception of liquid and jelly-like food (this is for liquids, besides in some countries they are completely prohibited).

3. Infant nutrition
   Baby food is not subject to restrictions on the transportation of liquids and gels in hand luggage. This means that you can take in the cabin as much water, milk, formula and baby food for the baby as required during the flight. Even if the capacity is more than 100 ml, you will not violate anything. The stroller is most often allowed to use before boarding or before the ladder, then you will give it to the airline employees. They will return it at the ladder after leaving the plane or at a place for oversized baggage at the airport.

   On board the aircraft you can bring medicines: tablets, various drops, dressings, hydrogen peroxide. It is better if the drugs are in an intact factory packaging with instructions for use. Everything in the ampoules must have a prescription from a doctor. You cannot bring syringes on board. Do not forget that all liquid medicines are liquids and it is worth packing them together with others. The exception is medicines that are vital in flight, for example for patients with diabetes (they are not subject to volume restrictions, it is important to have a certificate from a doctor). Mercury thermometers are prohibited in most airlines.

   Often there are questions about the razor: you can take an electric razor, a women's or men's machine with interchangeable cassettes, but a dangerous razor and a machine with a bilateral blade are prohibited. You can take a disposable lighter or a box of matches (often it is asked to leave in your pocket of clothes, rather than put in a suitcase), cigarettes, wet wipes.

It is strictly forbidden to take prickly-cutting objects into hand luggage, even a comb with a sharp tip or knitting spokes will be thrown away. In hand luggage, any imitators of weapons are prohibited, including a toy gun of a three-year-old child. You'll also be forced to leave behind the scotch and the ropes. Note that the aircraft cannot carry gunpowder, live ammunition, ammunition for gas weapons and hunting capsules, poisonous substances, gas canisters and animals.

The lists of things prohibited in baggage and carry-on baggage differ from country to country and even from airline to airline, but the basic principles are the same. There is no single aviation safety document that all airlines in the world use. Therefore, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the norms of hand luggage not only on the website of the airline, but also on the website of the airport of the country in which you fly.
