In general, items prohibited for transportation on an airplane can, in some cases, be taken on a flight by obtaining a special permit from the air carrier.

Permission is requested for the transport of lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 100-160 Wh. This is done through the Call Center or an air carrier representative at check-in.

What happens to seized items

Seized items that are prohibited from being transported on an aircraft, which are of no value, are usually thrown away. If things are important to their owner, there are ways to keep them and get them back.

The easiest option is when prohibited items are found at the front desk. In this case, you can give them to the mourners, leave them in the left-luggage office, or even send them by mail. If prohibited items are found in carry-on baggage, but are allowed to be carried in baggage, they are transferred to baggage.
When unauthorized items are found in hand luggage at security screening after passport control, they will be confiscated. But you can write an act of withdrawal and leave them for storage at the airport, and get them back upon return. Sometimes representatives of the air carrier can hand over the detected prohibited items in baggage with subsequent receipt on the baggage belt.
When unauthorized items are found in baggage after check-in, the security service will notify the passenger through the airline. They will either be confiscated or offered to pass the passenger again for registration. There is always a chance to tell about the value of a thing and leave it for storage at the airport.

Important! If weapons, ammunition are found without a permit for their transportation, the seized items are handed over to the police, and the passenger is removed from the flight for investigation.

How to avoid unpleasant situations during inspection

Carefully study the rules for carrying things with a particular airline before flying.
Try to leave all liquids, including cosmetics, in your checked-in luggage.
Make sure that you do not have liquid containers larger than 100 milliliters with you. Place the liquids required during the flight in an approved container.
Do not open packages of drinks and spirits from Duty free before leaving the aircraft.
To confirm that the medicines carried on the plane are vital, you need to take a certificate.
If drugs contain narcotic components, it is worth taking a prescription in Latin with you.

Compliance with simple rules guarantees passengers safety on board the liner.

Watch a video about the myths and truths about luggage on an airplane.

Going abroad, many travelers ask themselves the question - what can not be taken on board the plane, but what can? The list of things prohibited for transportation is quite long.

To prevent customs officers from confiscating personal property, you should find out in advance what you can take on the plane, the rules of a particular carrier and customs (if the flight is international).

What can not be taken on a plane?

There are a number of rules common to all types of air travel:

When preparing for a trip, you should carefully study the conditions for transporting items of different groups, in some countries an attempt to violate these rules is punishable by law.
Each airline has its own rules for carrying personal belongings - they determine how much luggage you can take into the cabin. How many kilograms is allowed to take? Usually the total weight of things does not exceed 10 kg.
You need to check in luggage as many things as possible, leave especially valuable items with you - documents, mobile gadgets, money. In hand luggage you can carry an umbrella, a cane, a stroller, outerwear. What stroller can you take? It is most reasonable to purchase a stroller-cane for flights.
What about a laptop? As practice shows, the safety of complex technical devices is a sore spot for many carriers. Therefore, it is permissible to take a laptop with you, there are usually no restrictions for portable equipment.

What is forbidden to take in hand luggage?

Hand luggage on an airplane is all things recognized as safe for passengers and their presence in the cabin will not cause inconvenience. The list of hazardous items is constantly changing, the exact information should be obtained shortly before the flight directly from the representatives of the carrier company.

It should be remembered that the found prohibited items will be confiscated, they will not be allowed to be taken on board the aircraft. Any wrangling with the staff, attempts to prove one's case (with an obvious fact of violation) will not lead to success - the risk of being late for your flight will be very high.

Some items are forbidden to take with you and this list is the same for all airlines:

Flammable substances in liquid and solid form.
Any types of weapons - traumatic, souvenir items, knives and daggers.
radioactive items.
oxidizing substances.
Magnetized items.
Poisons of plant and chemical origin.
Children's toys imitating real weapons.

If any of the above items is found in the luggage, the passenger will not be allowed on the plane, even arrest is possible. Therefore, you should not take risks and try to deceive the customs officers.

The following items cannot be transported in the aircraft cabin: nail files, penknives, razors, syringes, tweezers and scissors. According to the rules of air transportation, these things are classified as piercing and cutting and pose a potential danger to passengers. They will not be taken from the traveler, but they will definitely be asked to put them in luggage.

Separately, the rules for transporting devices with external batteries should be clarified - there are special rules for transporting batteries, the so-called high-risk flights. In this case, the list of things that cannot be taken into the cabin of the aircraft will be significantly expanded, even personal items will be banned. As a rule, the status of such a flight is announced in advance. Baggage weight may also vary.

How to transport liquids?

The list of such liquids is long, however, airlines meet the needs of passengers and allow the carriage of water, lotions, gels and similar substances in containers with a capacity of up to 100 ml. Is it possible to take spirits? Cosmetics - mascara, lipstick, perfume - also fall into the category of liquids. All containers, bottles and tubes are placed in a tight plastic bag with a secure closure. No need to think that a half-empty bottle of water with a volume of 200 ml will not raise questions. It will automatically be considered complete and asked to post. In extreme cases, larger gels and shampoos can be sent in baggage.

An exception to the rule is products for children under two years of age. Often the baby needs a large amount of food, in excess of 1 liter. In this case, the passenger is allowed to take in hand luggage the required amount of food for the child, milk in a thermos. For children over two years old, sandwiches, apples, biscuits, sweets are allowed to be transported from food. Do not forget about the sense of proportion - a big cake with cream will cause a lot of trouble.

Most airlines offer a special children's menu, children are fed separately during flights that last more than three hours. You need to order a children's menu in the carrier's service department in advance.

What medicines can be taken?

Fazal E Azeem Nisar / Flickr.com

Liquid medicines are transported in the same way as other liquids - in 100 ml bottles, in a separate transparent bag with a zipper. It is not so easy to transport tablets and powders, the list of prohibitions and restrictions will be very long.

You can not take with you a lot of packs of pills, this will cause reasonable concern for the security personnel.
You can take antipyretic, antiallergic, painkillers, iodine, bandage and spray from the common cold.
Potent medicines, which contain psychotropic and narcotic substances, will have to be declared in a separate procedure; in addition, you must present receipts from the pharmacy and detailed instructions for use.

The list of drugs that are considered potent is different in each country. Therefore, information on the rules for transporting medicines should also be clarified at the destination, and not only at home.

What food to take on the plane?

In some cases (promotional fares, short-term flights), meals on board the aircraft are not provided. Or there is an allergy to products in the onboard menu. Therefore, it makes sense to take food with you, but before that, you must definitely check the list of prohibited foods.

Usually flights without meals are short in time, so sandwiches, nuts and chocolate bars, vegetables and fruits will suffice. Whatever food you take, it must be appropriately packaged, bread and vegetables must be cut in advance - they will not be allowed to bring a table knife on board.

The list of products for transportation in baggage is much wider. However, they are also subject to customs rules, and for each country they will be specific. So, in a number of European countries, livestock products and a number of vegetables are banned to prevent the spread of infections.

Tourists heading to the US will need to leave the following items at home:

meat and any semi-finished products;
fresh eggs;
dairy products - cottage cheese, kefir, sour cream;
most vegetables and fruits;
canned foods;
any kind of fish.

Some countries have very specific restrictions. So, from tropical countries it is impossible to export the local fruit durian, which has a strong unpleasant odor. An attempt to transport fresh fruit is punishable by a large fine, but dried fruits are allowed for transportation.

We must not forget about the possibility of quarantine in the country: you should find out about a temporary ban on the import and export of livestock products, vegetables and fruits on the eve of the flight. You can bring products to Russia in small quantities, for personal use. Transportation of meat (no more than 5 kg), cheeses in dense packaging, hard vegetables and fruits is allowed.

Separate rules exist for the transport of fish and seafood. The following standards are provided for export from Russia: fish - 5 kg; sturgeon caviar - 250 gr. In order to avoid the spread of a specific smell, it is necessary to have a tight, reliable package.

Products from Duty free stores

Food products may be opened and eaten in the aircraft cabin. Non-food items and liquids purchased from Duti free must meet a number of requirements:

Export of liquids purchased at the airport is allowed in Russia, EU countries, Kuala Lumpur, USA, Canada. In other countries, the possibility of export should always be clarified.
All containers must be packed in the store's branded package.
If there are one or more transfers along the route, packages cannot be opened.
If the transplant is in the EU, drinks and gels purchased outside the EU will fall under the general rules of transportation. That is, large volumes of liquids can be confiscated.

For detailed information, you need to contact the representatives of the carrier, or call the hotline, the specialists will definitely tell you about the features of the goods in Duty free stores and their transportation.

Alcohol - how to transport correctly?

First of all, it should be remembered that only adults can carry alcohol, and the age varies depending on different countries. The following rules apply for the transport of alcohol:

From abroad, you can bring 5 liters of alcohol for personal use;
If the volume does not exceed three liters - the import is duty-free, from three to five - the duty will have to be paid. Usually they charge 10 euros for each additional 1000 ml.
When calculating the volume, all alcohol is summed up - in luggage, hand luggage and purchases from Duti free;
Alcohol of own production will not pass through customs - each container must have a complete factory packaging;

For safety, glass containers should be wrapped with a special bubble wrap; at check-in, luggage should be checked out as especially fragile. To do this, a badge with the inscription “fragile” is attached to a suitcase or bag.

Preparation is a guarantee of a successful flight

If you thoughtfully approach the fees, any trip will only be a joy. Situations are different, but if you follow the simple rules of air travel, your mood will not be spoiled by the nitpicking of customs officers. In the presence of non-standard things or animals, a conscientious airline will always meet the passenger and provide comfortable conditions for transportation.

How much luggage can you take on a plane? Can I carry alcohol, perfumes, aerosols, medicines, cigarettes in my luggage? But what about food? Let's consider these questions in detail.

There are no international rules for baggage, each air carrier regulates this issue independently. The airline may choose to carry baggage by seat or by weight.

in economy class no more than 20 kilograms of baggage with its total linear size of 203 centimeters;
in business class, with the same dimensions, it is allowed to take 30 kilograms with you.

If at least one parameter of your baggage does not fit into the established norms, the air carrier has the right to require additional payment. Children under ten years of age under such a system have the right to transport ten kilograms of things, and from the age of twelve they are already entitled to an adult norm for the carriage of goods.

The local system replaces the weight system, despite its obvious convenience. Aeroflot recently switched to it. Here transportation rules following.

economy class allows you to take only one piece of baggage with a bag no heavier than 23 kilograms;
in business class, the conditions are milder: two pieces of baggage weighing no more than 32 kilograms each.

The main difference of the luggage system is that the weight of luggage is not cumulative. For example, on a double flight in economy class, passengers carry two things weighing 15 and 25 kilograms. The extra two kilos will be counted as a third piece of baggage and paid in full. When planning luggage before travel, keep in mind that such an overload is paid at a high rate, comparable in price to a ticket.

Therefore, you should carefully calculate the weight of things.

The requirements for the maximum allowable baggage size in the local system are even stricter: the total linear size of the item is not more than 158 centimeters.

Alcohol is not included list of goods prohibited for carriage on an aircraft, but there are still certain rules for it. So, in hand luggage, each adult passenger has the right to carry one liter of alcoholic beverages, regardless of their strength. The entire quantity is divided into several containers no more than 100 milliliters each. All bottles are packed in a plastic bag with a zipper.

It is forbidden to use them on board: the packaging must not be broken until the end of the flight. Breaking the rules can get you in trouble.

liquids not stronger than 24% are transported without restrictions, but without going beyond the general weight restrictions;
alcohol with a strength of 24 to 70%, not more than five liters per passenger;
alcohol stronger than 70% is prohibited for transportation.

Alcoholic drinks purchased before the flight in duty-free shops are allowed to be transported in hand luggage, but in a whole package with a saved receipt. In low-cost companies, you will most likely have to pay for transporting a package of alcohol from a duty-free shop.

In different countries, the norms for transporting alcoholic drinks can vary greatly, so please inquire about this issue separately before an international flight.

The same recommendations apply to the question of the rules for transporting cigarettes. However, each country sets its own standards, which should be guided by before flying. For example, when flying on the territory of the Russian Federation, only one cigarette block (10 packs of 20 cigarettes each), up to 250 grams of tobacco or no more than 50 cigars can be transported in hand luggage. In this case, the passenger must be 18 years old. Other countries have different age restrictions.

For example, in Egypt, a 15-year-old passenger may well carry tobacco products with him, but only those who are already 20 years old can fly to Japan with cigarettes.

As for medicines, it is allowed to carry medicines in solid form (capsules, powders, tablets) in hand luggage. Liquid medicines, as well as ointments, creams and gels, should be in original containers up to 100 ml, and then packed in a bag (necessarily transparent) measuring 20x20 centimeters.

When transporting prescription drugs or drugs containing psychotropic / narcotic substances, you will need to present a doctor's prescription, and for an international flight you must also declare such drugs. For passengers with an insulin-dependent form of diabetes, an exception is made: transport in hand luggage insulin vials, syringes and glucometers are allowed.

By the way, for international flights there is a list of drugs prohibited for transportation, and you should familiarize yourself with it before departure. For example, when flying to the USA, you will not be able to take Corvalol, which is familiar in Russia, on board.

On domestic flights, you can take solid food into the cabin if it fits in your hand luggage and does not exceed the weight. On international lines, follow the rules of the countries where you are going. Usually they are forbidden to carry eggs, fish, meat and dairy products.

The ban is connected with the fact that these products are perishable and can cause an infectious disease and even an epidemic.

Transportation of liquid products is regulated separately. These include, in addition to water and juices, canned food, jam, jelly, honey, sour cream, cottage cheese, sauces.

Most airlines regulate the carriage of liquids and limit it to one liter per passenger, poured into hermetically sealed bottles with a capacity of no more than one hundred milliliters. All other liquids, including cosmetics, deodorants, colognes, perfumes, mosquito sprays and shampoos, are checked in as baggage under the new rules.

weapons: cold, firearms, gas, stun guns;
explosives: dynamite, cartridges, pyrotechnics;
gases: liquefied, compressed in cylinders, aerosols;
flammable liquids: petroleum products, acetone, solvents;
solid flammable substances: matches, metal potassium, calcium, sodium;
poisonous and toxic: nicotine, arsenic, mercury;
caustic and rapidly corrosive: salts, acids, lime.

List of prohibited substances and subjects under the new rules is extensive. If you are planning to bring an unusual item on the plane, check this list in advance or consult with an airline representative. Compliance with such simple rules guarantees the safety of all passengers and the absence of problems during the inspection of luggage.

Passengers often carry "prohibition", doing this not intentionally, but simply, not knowing the rules of the flight thoroughly. If the airport security staff found prohibited items in hand luggage or baggage, and you don’t want to lose them, the situation should be resolved in the following ways.

If forbidden things discovered before check-in: give them to the accompanying persons, hand them over to the luggage room or send them by mail (there is a branch at each airport) to the right place.
If prohibited items are found after the check-in procedure, then airline employees will offer a couple of options for resolving the misunderstanding: complete confiscation of the “prohibited item” or temporary seizure with the ability to pick up things after returning. Make sure that an act will be drawn up for items that are valuable to you, but prohibited from being transported, according to which you can get them back.

In any case, try to prove to the security service that this item is dear to you - there is always a chance that security officers will meet halfway.
