To avoid possible hassles and delay with airline and airport security procedures, ensure that the following items are in your checked-in baggage as these are not allowed to be handcarried:
- Nail cutters, swiss knives, scissors, any bladed items or sharp objects;
- Umbrellas of any type;
- Bicycle chains and jacks or other similar items;
- Lighters, which contain “butane” as well as matches, are prohibited in both handcarried and checked baggage;
- Zippo lighters can be checked in or handcarried as long as it is completely drained of its fluid;
- Liquids, aerosols, and gels in 100ml or less are the only ones allowed in handcarried baggage. Liquids, aerosols and gels must be placed in containers less than 100ml and must be secured in airtight plastic bags as changes in cabin pressure may cause even well sealed items to leak;
- All sports equipment are not allowed to be handcarried and must be checked in.
If you are in any doubt about your items, it is a good idea to call the airline directly. Airline Hotline Numbers
