For security reasons, international regulations determine which items are prohibited in air transport. In addition, there are items that can only be transported in the hold and cannot be transported on the plane as Hand Luggage.
The rules for transporting different types of items may also vary depending on the airline and the country for which you are traveling. The list below is for illustrative purposes only. Airport security agents have the right to request the removal of any item from your carry-on or checked Baggage.
