№1: Alcohol with ABV higher than 70%
If you are suddenly presented with a bottle of homemade vodka, or you just carry a bottle of ordinary medical alcohol with you, be prepared that the transportation of these products, like any alcohol, whose ABV is above 70%, is prohibited by the rules of luggage transportation. Of course, such alcohol will not be accepted into hand luggage either.
№2: Electronic Cigarette
The electronic cigarette works on lithium batteries, and it is forbidden to transport it in the luggage. However, you can always take an electronic cigarette with you in your carry-on bag or packpack. Let it be forbidden to smoke on board, but it is not forbidden to use an electronic cigarette in the waiting room.
№3: Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Unfortunately for all owners of this gadget, specifically this model is banned as an explosive. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is not allowed to be carried on the plane either in hand luggage or in luggage.
№4: Glasses
Any optics, and just fragile things should always be in carried in hand luggage. To crush the glasses, it is enough just to trample down the suitcase, and the luggage services of airports are not devoid of such flaws.
№5: Mercury thermometer
First-aid kit for your jouney – why not! However, it is highly recommended to take out a mercury thermometer and replace it with an electronic thermometer. The fact is that the rules for carrying luggage prohibit any items containing mercury in its pure form. Although, for example, some airlines allow to transport mercury thermometers, but only in hand luggage.
№6: Perishable products
If suddenly a suitcase with shortlived items arrives with a delay, it will be a pity to find both spoiled products and other things, "impregnated" with an unpleasant smell.
№7: Lighter
A disposable lighter can be transported in quantity of 1 piece per passenger, but only in hand luggage. As for gasoline lighters like Zippo, they can be allowed to take on board and even in luggage (rarely), provided that such a lighter will be packed in a special sealed container. Although if the lighter is expensive, you better leave it at home.
№8: Urban scooter
Such popular means of transportation as segway, urban scooter and electric scooter are a taboo for transportation in an airplane. And again the cause is the lithium-ion batteries.
№9: Jewelry
For the above reasons, it is not recommended to put jewelery in a suitcase, as well as any valuables. Although during the movement of luggage at the airport, surveillance cameras follow the bags and suitcases along, theft, alas, still occurs.
№10: Money
Do not want to keep all the money with you, why not pack some in your luggage? On the one hand, this is justified, but on the other hand it is rather risky. A suitcase can both get lost on the way, and be opened by an unconscientious airport employee. It is better to put part of the funds in your bank account and take a credit card with you.
* If you suddenly received a suitcase and found that valuable things were missing, contact the airport police, the airline will not be of much assistance. As practice shows, discovering pilferers, as well as proving proof that you really carried the claimed, is very difficult.
* If nevertheless you have an urgent need to transport valuables in a suitcase, register luggage with declared value. In this case, you can claim pay compensation.
