What you can take in hand luggage: rules and tips. hand luggage

In 2017, new rules for carrying hand luggage on an airplane came out. We advise you to carefully read the list of what you can take in hand luggage and what not if you are going on an air travel. Ignorance of such subtleties, alas, can overshadow your vacation.

1. Food

You can carry any food on board the aircraft, except for liquid and jelly-like food. You can take with you:

  • nuts;
  • cookie;
  • fruit;
  • sandwiches;
  • chips, etc.

For a child, you can take baby food. But refrain from yoghurts, juices, jellies and similar products, otherwise they will be confiscated from you. They will also take canned food and food in jars. All permitted products should be packaged in transparent bags. This will greatly speed up the inspection.

It is important to take into account the specifics of the carrier and the airport. So, at the Paris airport. Charles de Gaulle is not allowed to carry cheese in hand luggage.

Products from duty free you can also take it with you. The main thing is that the store packaging remains undamaged (the seller must pack the goods in a special bag with a capacity of 2 liters). in addition, save the receipt - it may be required when passing control.

2. Medicines

The following medications can be carried on board the aircraft:

  • tablets;
  • various drops;
  • dressing materials;
  • hydrogen peroxide.

It is better if the medicines are in undamaged original packaging, with instructions for use. Otherwise, when landing, customs officers may suspect that you are carrying prohibited substances under the guise of analgin.

If you have an injury, you can add crutches or other orthopedic aids to your hand luggage.

According to the rules, the volume of liquid in hand luggage should not exceed 100 ml. Therefore, if the medicine is liquid or in the form of a spray, make sure that the volume does not exceed what is allowed. Syringes cannot be taken on board.

3. Digital technology

What technical devices you can take on board are determined by the security regulations of the country you are traveling to. Usually, you are allowed to take in hand luggage:

  • notebook;
  • tablet;
  • mobile phone;
  • Mp3 player;
  • camera;
  • electric razor and toothbrush;
  • charging for devices;
  • voluminous electrical appliances (for example, a hair dryer).

You can (and should) also take headphones on board. If you are going to listen to music or watch a movie on a laptop, other passengers are unlikely to be happy to share this pleasure with you.

Although it is not forbidden to take a mobile phone with you, you may not need it during the flight. Often, before takeoff, phones are asked to be turned off altogether, because they can interfere with the operation of the electronic systems of the aircraft.

If you are going to take bulky equipment with you, remember the rules. Usually, the length of things in hand luggage should not exceed 56 cm, height - 45 cm, width - 25 cm. Maximum weight varies between 3-15 kilograms. The exact figure depends on the airport.

4. Documents, valuables and jewelry

In addition, you should take in your hand luggage:

  • expensive jewelry;
  • the documents;
  • valuables;
  • Wallet with money.

It is better to take your passport and other important papers with you - it’s calmer, you won’t worry about their safety all the way. In addition, if your luggage is suddenly lost, you will not be left in a foreign country without documents.

5. Cosmetics

You can carry any dry cosmetics on board:

  • shadows;
  • ink;
  • pencils for eyes and lips;
  • blush;
  • powder, etc.

Liquids, jelly-like substances in jars and bottles with a volume of more than 100 ml are strictly forbidden to be transported on board the aircraft in hand luggage. Pack them in a luggage suitcase, otherwise you risk being left without your expensive jars.

With cans under pressure on the plane is also impossible. Therefore, you will have to get rid of shaving foam and deodorants.

Remember that usually the total volume of liquids should not exceed 1 liter. therefore, if you take water with you in addition to lotion and shampoo, and their total volume exceeds the allowable one, think about what will be more important for you on board.

6. Personal hygiene items

From personal hygiene items you can take in hand luggage:

  • a toothbrush and paste (although you need to clarify about the latter - at some airports it is forbidden to take paste with you);
  • wet wipes;
  • Shaver;
  • a comb without a sharp handle (sometimes it is forbidden to carry metal combs);
  • nail polish remover without acetone with a volume of not more than 100 ml.

7. Clothes

You can take with you to the salon:

  • jacket or sweater;
  • coat;
  • plaid;
  • shawl.

In addition, you can carry a handbag, an umbrella and a walking stick.

8. Other

If you are traveling with children, in addition to hand luggage, you can take a portable cradle or stroller on board. It is not forbidden to take newspapers, magazines and other printed publications with you (without fanaticism, of course).

  • weapons, and everything that looks like it (if you have a fashion accessory in the form of a grenade or a pistol, they can be taken away);
  • piercing and cutting objects (this includes everything, even something that you would not even think of using as a tool to hurt another person, for example, knitting needles);
  • animals;
  • gas cartridges;
  • toxic substances.

A full list of prohibited items is often indicated directly on the ticket. If this list is not there, ask about this issue right at the airport.

Check the rules for dimensions, they differ for each airline. Low-cost airlines are especially serious about this issue. Low-cost airlines have a strict rule: one person - one piece of hand luggage. Therefore, everything will have to be folded into one bag or package. An exception is allowed only for folding baby carriages, crutches and outerwear.

Novice tourists before the first flight on an airplane are in some panic. What can you take on a plane And what do you need to put in your luggage? Which allowed weight hand luggage? And so on. Sometimes ignorance of such trifles can greatly overshadow the rest. Especially if you travel far and with children. Here we publish a list of things that we update and supplement every year.

In the photo: you can take luggage no more than 5-7 kg on the plane

Most of the things it is better to check in luggage. On the plane in hand luggage, take things to a minimum. It is better to put everything in a small backpack or bag that can be placed next to the seat.

Do not take a lot of things on the plane if you do not want to participate in gladiator fights with other passengers for a place in the luggage racks.


In the photo: take only the essentials with you on the plane

List of things you can take on a plane

  1. Take on the plane the most important thing for a vacation - documents and money.
  2. Take a jacket on the plane. If you fly in one T-shirt, you can get cold. When landing, it is hot in the cabin, then the air conditioners are turned on and the inexperienced for the rest of the flight dream only of blankets (which for some reason are always in short supply).
  3. Tablet or laptop. You have to have some fun while flying. With a laptop, you can browse and watch movies.
  4. Mobile phone, smartphone.
  5. Headphones and a “double” for headphones - there is no need to unnerve those who are armed with the sounds of punk rock.
  6. An inflatable neck pillow - it will be more comfortable to sleep with it ... on the shoulder of a neighbor.
  7. Of course, keep your camera with you, otherwise the photos will turn out only in the “kaleidoscope” style.

In the photo: what you can take on a plane if you are with a child
  1. Baby food for a child. If you take fruit puree and yogurt, take smaller packages.
  2. A lot of wet wipes ... two or three million is enough :)
  3. A tablet, a laptop with cartoons and coloring books - you need to somehow entertain the child throughout the flight.
  4. Keep the essentials handy! Except for liquids over 100 ml.

18 things you can't refuse to carry

When flying with Russian airlines, keep in mind that in addition to hand luggage, you can take items on the plane that are included in the list of Federal Aviation Rules (FAR). Is free! This list includes 18 things: a handbag, a folder for papers, a briefcase, outerwear, an umbrella, a cane, baby food, a telephone, a laptop, a camera, a video camera, a bag, a bouquet of flowers, printed materials, a baby cradle. The weight and dimensions of things are not specified. You have no right to refuse to carry these things in your hand luggage!

List of things not to take on a plane


In the photo: you will be allowed on the plane, without sharp objects and unidentified liquids

1. You can't take it on a plane any liquids in a container with a volume of more than 100 ml. Liquids also include lotions, creams, toothpaste, perfumes, hair gels, oils, liquid products, etc. Total liquids can be no more than 1000 ml. During the inspection, opened bottles with syrups and drinks over 100 ml will be taken away, except for packed bottles from Duty Free.

2. Caviar in jars, canned food over 100 ml. If you hid a large can of caviar on the path, then you will feed the entire inspection team.

3. Any piercing objects, even souvenirs or imitation. We bought a souvenir samurai sword - choose a prettier employee and give it to him. Screwdrivers, knives, scissors and similar tools, as well as knitting needles, corkscrews, etc. - put everything in your luggage. By the way, at most airports it is forbidden to carry even nail scissors on board.

4. Weapons. Do not attempt to board with or with its imitation.

5. Pressurized cans, including shaving foam and deodorants, are not allowed on the plane.

6. Some airlines will not let you bring your beloved cat and dog on the plane. If it is strongly necessary to fly together, the animals are placed for the duration of the flight in an insulator in the luggage compartment. Please check with each airline for details.

7. Smokers will be upset: at many airports, lighters are confiscated. This is especially true for many Asian airports.

By the way, in addition to prohibitions on various things, low-cost airlines have baggage requirements in hand luggage, so carefully read the rules of the airline before flying. For example, many people don't know that in addition to restrictions on the weight and size of hand luggage, Ryanair requires you to pack everything in ONE bag, i.e. you can’t even carry a jacket in your hand or hang a camera around your neck - sometimes they can miss it, but they can ask for a surcharge, - I wrote in detail - a very interesting airline, you can fly around Europe cheaper than by bus or train.
Be careful, low-cost airlines very often change the rules for carrying hand luggage - check before each flight so as not to overpay.

Many of us fly planes on vacation, a business trip to get a job, and so on. If they do not fly for a long time, problems with food do not arise.

And if the flight is long and even with not one but several transfers? And if you fly low-cost airlines, where you have to pay for tea or juice. Moreover, if you wait for a plane for several hours during a transfer, and in the airport buffets, mind-blowing prices.

Then the question arises: - "Can I take food on the plane?"

I think this question is of interest not only to me, but also to others.

If you plan to take food with you in your hand luggage, then read on. "Can I take food on the plane?"

Can I take food on the plane?

Perhaps not everyone knows about this, but you can take food on board the aircraft, and not only that which was bought in Duty Free before landing.

Knowledgeable tourists take with them not only chocolates and cookies, but also sandwiches and other homemade preparations. There are only restrictions on drinks, but flight attendants carry them anyway, unless you fly on low-cost airlines, where you have to pay for tea or juice.

It is advisable to take protein-rich foods with you: chicken, beef, cheese, nuts. Choose products that do not have a strong smell, which will not crumble much and will not deteriorate during several hours of flying and waiting at the airport.

For a snack, a mixture of nuts and dried fruits, sandwiches or a salad in a container are perfect.

Avoid strong-smelling and gas-producing foods (onions, garlic, fish, beans, broccoli) and fatty foods. You can ruin your stay on the plane not only for yourself, but also for numerous neighbors.

Remember that liquids, including gels, are prohibited for transportation. Except when they comply with the regulations:

  • The volume of containers should not exceed 100 ml.
  • All containers should be stored in one resealable transparent plastic container. The total capacity should not exceed 1 liter.
  • Each passenger is entitled to carry only one such package.
  • Packaging with containers containing liquids must be presented separately at the security control desk.

What of the products refers to liquids and gels? The list is not very long, it includes: yogurt, sauces (for example, for salad), cottage cheese, peanut butter, jam, jam, jelly, soup. But not everything is so simple, no one will definitely answer the question of whether it is possible to take a pie with creamy filling or a cake with you. This will depend on the decision of the security service.

All products must be carefully packed in transparent bags or containers so that security personnel can see what is inside.

And one more piece of advice, before you lay out the food you brought with you on the table, cover it with a napkin. You don't know who was sitting here before you and how long ago it was cleaned.

What food to take on a plane

Food on planes often leaves much to be desired. Heartburn-inducing chicken pasta and an insanely sweet chocolate waffle for dessert are unlikely to whet your appetite, and you can only eat this when you are very hungry. Meanwhile, it will not be difficult to pack a bag of tasty and healthy food with you on the road, the main thing is to have a clear plan. And then you can not think about whether food is included in the cost of the flight, and not worry about its quality. The same stock can save on long flights, when a significant time passes between two meals. So, what can you use with pleasure and comfort during the flight.

Fruit
Fruits are perfect both as a dessert and as a way to quench your thirst. The main thing - do not take with you those that need to be cleaned. Dirty hands, splashes on clothes, and an extra load of skins are not what you need. It is best to bring seedless grapes or any other berries, as well as apples. All this must first be washed, dried and it is best to put it not in a bag, but in a plastic container with a lid.


Mix of nuts and dried fruits
Of course, there are ready-made mixes in stores, but usually there will be something in them that you don’t like at all and will end up in the bottom of the jar, so it’s better to make dry rations from what you love. For example: mix a glass of roasted seeds without husks, a glass of dried apricots or prunes, half a glass of nuts (almonds or hazelnuts) and a couple of handfuls of dried cherries. All this, again, is more convenient to place in a plastic container, since plastic bags tend to open, tear and crumble at the most inopportune moment. And yes, they are awkward to put on the table.


small carrots
This tasty and easy-to-transport root crop is often forgotten, and in vain. Firstly, they are very good to crunch during takeoff or landing, because. it does a great job of keeping the ears out. Secondly, carrots satisfies the desire to constantly chew something out of boredom, without harm to the figure. And, finally, if you take some sauce with you, you can perfectly dip the root crop into it and get almost a restaurant snack. The main thing is to wash the carrots in advance. By the way, small cucumbers will replace carrots in the season, the main thing is to find tasty and fresh ones.


Sauces
Not necessarily, but people who are used to eating sauces, take one or two sauces with you. These can be small boxes from McDonald's. But remember that the carriage of liquid substances on the plane is limited.


crackers
Crackers, breadsticks or FinnCrisp brought from home are great snacks. The main thing is to choose a not very crumbling option.


Muesli bars
If there is no time to collect food for the road at all, take a variety of muesli and dried fruit bars with you. There are a great many types of such bars for sale, and you can buy them not only in the supermarket, but also in almost any pharmacy.


inedible items
Of course, you should definitely take wet and dry wipes with you, which will definitely find a use. If there are shops in the sterile area, you can also take an empty camping water bottle with you and fill it with your own mix, the ingredients for which can be purchased after the security check.

Tips

And many more people on the plane really want to drink, but you can’t take a lot of liquids, you can take liquid with you in your luggage. But you can take juicy fruits and an empty bottle.
And fly with a bottle, which is already filled at the airport, after all the checks. You can ask the stewards for water. Dehydration is terrible, so the more you drink, the better.
You can take apples and bananas.

Tip - take dried fruits, nuts (preferably not peanuts, so that your neighbor does not start Quincke's edema: () Take sandwiches that are individually packaged, with chicken, ordinary, not smelly cheese. All kinds of bars.

And don't forget to bring an empty trash bag!

Include in the menu a few days or weeks before the flight products containing melatonin - bananas, rice, barley, pineapple, corn, meat - these products contain the biological sleep regulator melatonin. Be sure to add foods containing vitamin B1 to your diet, these are fish, oatmeal, rice, of course asparagus, wheat, pork. Here is the perfect and quite varied pre-flight menu. Eating right before a flight is especially important for older people, because. as people age, melatonin is produced less and less, and, accordingly, older people are more likely to experience jet lag sleep disorder. So drug-free, these products help to predetermine the difficulties of the flight.

List of allowed and prohibited items that you can take on a plane.

There are a large number of rules for carrying luggage. All rules are slightly different depending on the ticket class and the airline. But in general, the requirements for the transportation of bags that are checked in as baggage are the same.

As mentioned above, the norms are slightly different for the classes. If you collect things and will fly to another country, then follow these rules and regulations:

  • The total size of a suitcase that can be carried free of charge is 158 cm, weighing 20 kg. It needs to sum the height, width and length. If the size is exceeded, then you will have to pay extra.
  • Before checking in your baggage, you should attach a tag with your data to it. Such tags can be taken at the place of baggage check-in.
  • Reagents and radioactive substances cannot be handed over for transportation. You can take alcohol in your luggage, but not more than 5 liters. You will also have to check in liquids and medicines in bottles if their volume exceeds 100 ml.

How many kg of luggage and hand luggage can I take on a plane?

The maximum weight of hand luggage is up to 10 kg. The dimensions of the bag must not exceed 110 cm. If the bag is larger, you will have to divide the luggage into parts and put it in checked baggage.

For hand luggage, it is allowed to take a bag measuring 20 by 40 and 55 cm. In this case, you should have only one bag. That is, a purse or handbag will have to be put inside a large bag for hand luggage.

Although in many European countries it is allowed to carry several bags and bags with you on the plane. But it’s not worth taking risks and neglecting the rules.

Note! The bag that you will take on the plane should be made of soft fabric, without rigid frame walls.



If you need to take a certain list of items with you on the plane, make sure that they do not include:

  • Razors
  • knives
  • scissors
  • magnetized items
  • Means for signaling
  • hairspray
  • weapons
  • Acids, alkalis
  • Lighters
  • Alcoholic drinks and corkscrew


It is worth noting that traveling with a baby is not at all easy. There are many subtleties of the flight. Some airlines offer their own car seats, cradles for transporting babies. Ask about it in advance. You can bring your own car seat. Most companies allow you to take a small walking stick on board. If this is a transformer, then it will have to be checked in as luggage.

List of necessary products for children under 2 years old:

  • Children food
  • Medicines
  • Care products
  • Diapers
  • Disposable diapers

It is worth noting that the maximum amount of liquid that you can take with you to the cabin is 1000 ml. Therefore, the total volume of puree, milk and water should be no more than 1 liter. This should include cream, lotion and other baby skin care products.

If your child is over 2 years old, then it is forbidden to take yogurt, kefir, etc. on board. It is worth giving preference to dry snacks. These are sandwiches, crackers, dried apricots and nuts.



Pregnant girls put on a lot of weight, so it is recommended to take on a plane a change of shoes that do not squeeze your legs. Also, during the flight, try to walk rather than sit. Are you suffering from varicose veins? Take elastic bandages and compression stockings. Bondage will be required to support the abdomen.

List of items:

  • Sachets, in case you vomit
  • Candles with papaverine or other anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Music and a tablet to keep you entertained during your trip
  • Lozenges, they prevent nausea
  • Antipyretics and allergy medications
  • Neck pillow


Different airlines have their own opinion on this matter. If you have a baby, then almost everyone allows you to take a stroller with you as an addition to your hand luggage. You can bring the baby to the gangway, and then give it to the stewardess. Immediately after arrival, your stroller will be given.

There are some subtleties. If you are carrying a stroller without a child, you will have to pay extra for such luggage. But if with a baby, then the cost of transportation is not charged. We recommend that you ask for a bassinet in advance when booking your tickets. The seats of many airlines require the attachment of car seats and cradles. Check if there are no such chairs, whether you can take your own.

It is worth noting that when checking in the stroller as baggage, it should be packed, as it can get dirty during the flight.



Regarding toys, you should carefully study the information of the airline. You cannot take with you:

  • toy weapon
  • Plastic knives
  • Battery operated toys with light and sound

That is why it is better to take a tablet and pre-upload a cartoon or interesting videos. You can also take pencils, an album with you and captivate your baby with drawing. Some European companies give children coloring books and crayons.



When it comes to food, it's quite complicated. Not everyone is satisfied with the menu provided by the airline. Therefore, you will have to bring your own groceries. You are not allowed to take smoked meats, meat and eggs with you. Most often, these products are thrown away during inspection. This is due to the fact that you can transport some kind of virus or pathogens of dangerous diseases to another country.

You can take:

  • crackers
  • Dried fruits
  • nuts
  • Cookie
  • Muesli bars

You are not allowed to take fermented milk and other perishable products with you when flying to another country.

The total volume of liquid should not exceed 1 liter. In this case, all liquid should be packaged in small bottles, with a volume of 100 ml. Of course, this amount of water may not be enough, so take a small empty bottle with you. On many flights, flight attendants go to meet passengers and pour water upon request.
