Can I carry a box of chocolates in hand luggage? Are sweets allowed in hand luggage? - factory packaging

Almost every one of us flew on an airplane, while packing a suitcase, thinking about what you can or cannot take in your luggage and hand luggage from things or products on the plane. In this regard, the idea arose to collect frequently asked questions on hand luggage in one article, and write in detail about what from the following list can be carried in hand luggage. Updated as of July 2019.

The first article I wrote about carry-on luggage and luggage prompted me to collect such frequently asked questions, you can read it by clicking on the following link:

NEW RULES (changes), which were included in the Air Code of the Russian Federation and entered into force on October 05, 2017, touched a little hand luggage, as well as luggage on non-refundable tickets. In the fall of 2018, changes were made to the federal aviation rules (FAR) and also affected the baggage rules. NeitherThe information provided is correct as of July 2019.

It is important to know before the flight, the general hand luggage:

Liquids can be taken into the aircraft cabin (in hand luggage) only in jars that do not exceed 100 ml, and in the total volume of such jars there should be no more than 1 liter, packed in a transparent bag with a zip fastener (see photo below).
If the air carrier allows you to carry this or that thing, object, product in hand luggage (and in luggage), then the customs of the country where you are going to fly may not let your things through, so be sure to check the customs regulations of the country where you are flying abroad.
Products of animal origin it is forbidden to carry on quite a few airlines - for example, this can be animal fur, ivory, bear bile and much more.
Since March 2009, it has been prohibited to enter the territory of the EU countries import dairy and meat products in luggage and hand luggage. Exceptions are: children's and special diet food prescribed for medical reasons.
According to paragraph 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as amended on 05.10.2017- in addition to your carry-on baggage and your luggage, you can take all the items listed below one copy free of charge (these are the things that which are allowed as hand luggage in excess of the norm, established by the carrier in accordance with the Federal Aviation Rules, and without charging an additional fee, the passenger has the right to carry the following things), i.e. for one person in the aircraft cabin, you can take all of one item from the list below without additional payment, namely:

backpack, the weight and dimensions of which are established by the rules of the carrier, or a handbag or briefcase with things invested in a backpack, or a bag, or a briefcase;
bouquet of flowers;
outerwear;
baby food for the child during the flight;
suit in a suitcase;
baby carrier(cradle, restraint systems (devices) for children under two years of age, baby carriage and other devices) when transporting a child, the dimensions of which are established by the carrier’s rules, and allow them to be safely placed in the aircraft cabin on a shelf above the passenger seat or under the seat in front passenger seat;
medications, special dietary needs in the amount required for the duration of the flight;
crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, folding wheelchair, used by a passenger and having dimensions that allow them to be safely placed in the aircraft cabin on a shelf above the passenger seat or under the seat in front of the passenger seat;
goods purchased from duty-free shops at the airport packed in a sealed (sealed) plastic bag, the weight and dimensions of which are established by the rules of the carrier.
And I will notice from list at the time of the adoption of the changes on 10/05/2017, the following disappeared: a video camera, a camera and a computer. In theory, now it turns out that they need to be stuffed into the allowed hand luggage so that they do not turn out to be an extra seat for which you still have to pay extra.

Every time you fly by plane, however, and during other trips, you should not forget about your safety and the safety of your luggage. The main difference between airplanes and other transport is that you do not see most of your luggage and cannot guarantee its safety, which is why we try to take everything valuable and important with us in hand luggage, carrying many kilograms. However, for quite some time now there has been a much more convenient solution - this is travel insurance, which often includes the risks of loss and damage to luggage. The simplest insurance can be bought without leaving home, spending about 700-900 rubles, for this money in case of force majeure you can count on significant compensation, both in case of loss of luggage and if you do not fly, and if you pay a little extra, then on compensation for medical services in a foreign country for the entire duration of the vacation.

What you can take with you on a plane and what not

Liquids in hand luggage on board

I must say right away that any liquid carried on board the aircraft is checked and, in case of non-compliance with the rules, they can be taken away (not allowed to be carried on board). And the rules in most Russian airlines, and even foreign ones, are such that any liquid in hand luggage must be in jars that do not exceed 100 ml, and the entire volume of such jars should be no more than 1 liter, packed in a transparent bag with a zip fastener. I note that you can not take a capacity exceeding 100 ml. (i.e., a 200 ml jar, for example), and pour the prescribed amount of liquid there, not more than 100 ml, such a container, along with the contents, will be removed during the check.

So let's see if the following liquids can be carried in hand luggage:

Water in hand luggage- no, you can’t carry it into the departure area in hand luggage, usually they ask you to put it in the inspection area. The exception is people who have certificates of unfavorable health, for whom water is vital, for example, diabetics. Sometimes there are exceptions. They let us in with water, but this can be attributed to the human factor (the kindness of the inspector, not strict instructions from one or another airline, etc.). Water can always be purchased in the departure waiting area or asked for already on board the aircraft, as well as carried on board in containers of no more than 100 ml. and in a total volume of not more than 1 liter.
Alcohol on board- you can’t carry it in hand luggage (it’s better to check it in luggage), with the exception of purchases made in Duty Free. However, you ask me, why not pour alcohol into 100 ml bottles. (and such bottles are not more than 1 liter) and try to take it in your hand luggage, then I’ll tell you, try it and write in the comments later if it worked out, because we didn't do that ourselves. Duty Free is a duty free shop where you can buy alcohol (no more than 2-3 liters per adult, but there are differences in different countries) and tobacco (no more than 400 pieces or 2 blocks), as well as other goods for affordable price. Alcohol can be bought after passport control, but only if you are flying non-stop, that is, on a direct flight and after the purchase you will arrive at your final destination, otherwise it may be confiscated at the next inspection. If you are flying with transfers where you need to go through passport control again, then alcohol bought at Duty Free will already be a prohibited item, and it would be better to put it in your luggage (if you received it during the transfer, but this does not always happen). Sellers in Duty Free seal your purchases in a bag along with a check, so it’s better not to open it on board.

Since January 01, 2017, the Internet has been filled with information about the ban on the import of imported alcoholic beverages into Russia. I want to dispel your doubts about whether or not to bring alcohol to Russia in 2017. According to the latest data, it was clarified directly from the Domodedovo customs (florid, with articles indicated and not very direct), but what, you can bring 2-3 liters of alcohol to your relatives, as before in checked baggage or purchased in duty free. To exceed the established bans on the volume of purchases in Duty Free, as a rule, airline employees are indulgent, because this is also part of the airline's income from the sale of goods.

Baby food to take on the plane– you can carry on board the aircraft as much as you need in flight, and it is not subject to the 100 ml limit. (no more than 1 liter), because it is vital for the child and all airlines adhere to this rule.
Liquid medicines on board(potions, suspensions, etc.) - if the jar does not exceed 100 ml in size, then you can take it in hand luggage, the main thing is that all liquids together do not exceed 1 liter and lie in a transparent bag with a zipper, as shown in the photo higher. It is better, of course, in the factory container, so that it can be seen that this is medicine.

Transportation of equipment on board the aircraft

Any non-professional equipment is transported free of charge in addition to hand luggage , i.e. if you have a bag (hand luggage) available, then you can also take a bag with a camera, or a laptop, or a video camera to it free of charge. However, if you have this equipment professional, then it is transported on other conditions that are established by the airline, the main thing is to call them in advance and find out everything.

Hygiene products with you on the plane

Perfume(or eau de toilette) - you can, if the size of the bottle does not exceed 100 ml, if it still exceeds, then we put it in luggage.
Shampoo- it is possible, if the vial does not exceed 100 ml in size, if the container itself is larger, and there are only 100 ml of liquid, we still transfer it to luggage.
Air conditioner- the same as with the shampoo above.
Toothpaste- the same thing, if the tube does not exceed 100 ml in size, you can take it in hand luggage, the main thing is that all liquids together do not exceed 1 liter and lie in a transparent bag with a zipper.
Deodorant - deodorants are different: a) in cylinders under pressure - these are definitely not allowed in hand luggage, we check them in luggage or we don’t take them with us at all; b) dry deodorants - if they are in a tube up to 100 ml, then you can take it in hand luggage; c) also liquid deodorants - if the tube is up to 100 ml, you can take it with you to the cabin of the aircraft in hand luggage.
After Shave Lotion - if its tube is up to 100 ml., then you can put it with you in hand luggage on the plane. Just remember the rule that in the total volume of such tubes (jars) there should be no more than 1 liter, packed in a transparent bag with a zip fastener.

Children (food, things, cradle, stroller, toys, medicines) on the plane

Many parents ask questions about transporting children on an airplane - is it possible to carry baby food, things, toys, a stroller in hand luggage? Let's check what of this can be taken to the salon and what is not:

Baby food on the plane it is allowed to take in the amount that the baby will need during the flight without restrictions.
Children's medicines- there should be no problems with medicines for children either, just remember that it is better to take liquid medicines no more than 100 ml, and put them in a transparent bag.
Child's baggage (not hand luggage)- many Russian airlines allow baggage for a child, just remember that without providing a seat, a child is allowed to carry 1 piece of baggage from 7-10 kg in size, and if you bought a whole piece for a child, then all the conditions for carrying baggage and manual baggage in accordance with the rules of the fare you have purchased. However, different airlines may have different ways of looking at what yours writes.
Baby cradles and strollers on board the aircraft- it is not forbidden to carry a baby cradle for a child in any airline (check about the car seat when buying a ticket), but the information about the stroller in hand luggage is questionable, it is usually required to check it in luggage, however, at the same time, the stroller can definitely be carried free of charge in addition to checked baggage, i.e. check it in the luggage compartment, the main thing is that it does not exceed a weight of no more than 20 kg.
Toys- you can take your child's favorite toy on board the plane in your or his hand luggage (if it is provided for by the ticket), it can be a teddy bear, a train and much more, the main thing is to go through the allowable weight of hand luggage.

Medications on board

Those medicines that you may need during the flight can be taken with you in hand luggage, in the amount that is required, just remember that I wrote earlier about liquids. It is better to take all medicines in their original packaging with instructions so that the inspectors do not have any questions. True, do not be alarmed, how much we flew, no one asked anything. Medicines for a child should also be passed in hand luggage to the cabin without any problems, just remember that it is better to take liquid medicines no more than 100 ml and put them in a transparent bag.

Usually there is no problem with a small number of tablets that we take with us on a trip in hand luggage, these can be the following tablets:

From motion sickness
For a headache
From indigestion
Antipyretic

Other medicines that you may need while traveling can be found in our article:

Also, if you didn’t take any medicine with you, but your head ached, then you can always ask the flight attendant for something for a headache, because. There is a first aid kit on board.

Ladies' bags, men's briefcases, backpacks

Ladies bag - According to the Federal Aviation Rules, in Russian airlines, a handbag is allowed to be carried free of charge and in addition to hand luggage, that is, you can take a bag with hand luggage and also your handbag and there will be no problems.
Men's briefcase - as well as with a handbag, a briefcase can be carried on board free of charge in addition to hand luggage.
Backpack - all Russian airlines consider a backpack as hand luggage if it fits the size and weight of hand luggage, especially since now it has been included in the list of hand luggage allowed under Article 135 of FAP 82

Food to go to the cabin

Many people ask the question - "Is it possible to carry food in hand luggage?" I will tell you that almost everything is possible within reasonable limits, but there are exceptions, read below which ones:

Coffee- you can carry it in hand luggage, but it’s better not in glass, it’s most likely to shift or buy a bag with a zipper.
Tea- loose can be taken in hand luggage, preferably in its original packaging, so that it is immediately clear what it is. At the same time, various other teas, including cough teas, can also be carried in hand luggage.
sandwiches- we had no problems with such food during various flights, including non-Russian airlines. And one from whom food had to be ordered separately.
Sausage- in hand luggage you can carry a loaf, or even two of any sausage, the main thing is that you fly in Russia, but if you are going abroad, then read the customs rules of the country where you are flying.
Candies- you can take sweets, as well as chocolates, with you in your hand luggage on board the aircraft.
Bread- none of the Russian airlines will forbid you to carry bread on board the aircraft in your hand luggage.
Meat (raw, boiled, minced meat) and lard- all of the above can be carried in hand luggage in Russia, however, as I indicated above, the EU countries prohibit the import (since March 2009) of dairy and meat products into their territory, both in luggage and in hand luggage. Exception: children's and special diet food prescribed for medical reasons.
Red caviar- of course, in order not to risk it, it is better to put caviar in your luggage, but if you want to fly only with hand luggage, then in principle you will not have any problems when transporting red caviar across Russia.
Fish (raw, dried, dried)- all of the above can be carried in hand luggage in Russia, the main thing is to pack well, however, as I indicated above, the EU countries prohibit the import (since March 2009) of dairy and meat products into their territory, both in luggage and in hand luggage. Exception: children's and special diet food prescribed for medical reasons. In any case, if you are flying abroad, it is better to study the customs regulations of the country where you are going.
processed cheese- there were cases when such cheese was confiscated during the inspection of hand luggage, so it is better not to take it into the cabin, but pack it and check it in with your luggage or not take it at all. And also, no one forbids bringing it on board, in containers of no more than 100 ml. and in the total volume of all liquids no more than 1 liter in a transparent plastic bag.
Honey- you can not take it as hand luggage on the plane, because it is classified as a liquid and in most cases is removed from hand luggage, it is better to transfer it to luggage, or carry it on board, in containers of no more than 100 ml. and in a total volume of not more than 1 liter.
Fruits (mango, pineapple, etc.)- you can carry it and even need it in hand luggage, the main thing is not to forget about the requirements for the weight and size of hand luggage from your airline you are flying with.
Raw eggs (chicken, goose, quail)– you can take them with you in your hand luggage, because. in luggage they can easily be broken, crushed.
Cereals (buckwheat, rice, etc.)- all of the above can be carried in hand luggage in Russia, however, as I indicated above, if you ate abroad, you need to read the customs rules of the country where you are flying.

How to transport lithium batteries and devices with them on an airplane

1. Small personal mobility aids

Aeroflot has recently allowed the carriage of small means for personal transportation on lithium batteries, These include:

unicycle,
segways (mini-segways),
hoverboards,
hoverboards,
electric scooters,

however, in a certain order, we read below in which:

Usually this technique works on a lithium-ion battery, which must be removed from the device itself and carried separately in hand luggage, and the hoverboard itself (and other devices listed above) must be put and checked in with luggage, but the main thing is that the power of such batteries does not exceed 160 watts at one o'clock.

If you have a built-in battery, then you cannot transport this product as indicated above, you must register such cargo with the airline as “Dangerous Goods”, and this is another story, which I will talk about a little later. It is also important to know that in any case you should call the airline and inform that you are carrying this device, they will tell you exactly what needs to be done with it, at least Aeroflot has such a rule.

2. Other devices with lithium-ion batteries

Basically, there are the following items with such lithium batteries: phones, laptops, camcorders, watches, players, portable medical devices, and their battery power usually does not exceed 100 Wh, then such devices and equipment can and should be carried in hand luggage. And for other devices with a lithium-ion battery capacity exceeding 100 Wh, you need permission from the airline itself to carry on the plane, so you need to call your airline in advance and find out everything.

You can read about other devices that are allowed with lithium batteries in hand luggage in the following article about the features of transportation .

I didn’t find such a ban in other airlines, including the Siberia company, but in any case, jokes are bad with such batteries, and if you don’t put such a device in your luggage or hand luggage correctly, you can lose it during inspection, so it’s important in 48 hours before departure, call the airline you are flying with and clarify everything.

Tools in hand luggage

screwdriver- in the modern world, screwdrivers began to be made with built-in lithium-ion batteries inside, and some airlines impose their own restrictions on such batteries, so it’s better to find out directly in your airline before departure how to transport such a tool. If your screwdriver is with a conventional battery, then we remove all nozzles (prickly and cutting) and check them in luggage, and take the screwdriver with the battery with us in hand luggage.
Pliers
Spanners- it is better to immediately put this tool in your luggage, and do not try to carry it in your hand luggage into the cabin of the aircraft.

Women's accessories for beauty, as well as for knitting on the plane

Read on, is it possible to carry with you on a plane in hand luggage: a cosmetic bag, a manicure set, a hair dryer, a curling iron, a hair straightener. We always remember what is not prohibited, you can bring it into the salon, the main thing is to know what exactly is prohibited, and these are piercing and cutting objects, harmful substances, as well as those devices that can spontaneously turn on. And from this we draw the following conclusions:

a) Cosmetic bag, which may contain:

ink- you can take it with you in hand luggage, because. usually the tube is less than 100 ml.
Shadows- can be taken in hand luggage
Concealer- you can take it in your hand luggage, as long as the tube is no more than 100 ml. and all these liquids must be put in a transparent bag with a zipper, this is done for the convenience of checking your things.
Eyeliners- it is not a liquid and not a piercing object, so you can take it with you in hand luggage
Eyelash curler- do not have pointed ends, so there should be no problems with them during the inspection and they can be taken in hand luggage on the plane.
Eyebrow tongs (some with pointed ends)- it is better not to take them into the cabin of the aircraft in hand luggage, but to shift them into luggage.
Hair fixation spray - usually in a pressurized tank, and such items are not allowed on board in hand luggage, so it's best to put it in your luggage right away.

b) A manicure set usually contains piercing and cutting items that are prohibited for carriage in the aircraft cabin:

Scissors (scissors)- they are definitely forbidden to be carried in hand luggage on board the aircraft (usually Russian airlines prohibit piercing and cutting objects in the cabin of the aircraft), the best option will not be deprived of handing them over with your luggage.
Eyebrow tweezers (some with pointed ends)- it is also better not to take them into the cabin of the aircraft, because. they fit the description of piercing and cutting objects prohibited on board.
Nail file- if it is metal and sharp, then it is definitely prohibited in hand luggage, transfer it to your checked-in luggage.

c) Hair appliances such as hair dryer, curling iron, straightener:

d) Knitting

Knitting needles- no, it is forbidden to take sharp, piercing and cutting objects into the cabin of the aircraft, so the knitting needles will have to be checked in with your luggage.
Crochet hooks- it’s also better not to take risks so that they are not taken away during the inspection of hand luggage, put in luggage or simply don’t take them with you.

Fragile items to take on the plane

Almost all fragile things or objects can be taken with you as hand luggage, as long as the size and weight meet the requirements of your airline.

Crystal (glasses)- you can, if the size and weight of hand luggage meets the requirements of your airline.
Ceramics (ware)
Household appliances (slow cooker)- you can, if the size and weight of hand luggage meets the requirements of your airline.

Sports nutrition

You already understood about liquids earlier, and all dry mixtures of sports nutrition can be taken with you on board the aircraft in hand luggage, the main thing is to observe the size and weight allowed by the airline you are flying with.

Electronic cigarettes (electronic vaporizers)

E-Sigs- in Russian airlines (and in foreign ones) are transported only in hand luggage(precisely in things with a passenger on board), they are prohibited in baggage. They explain that this condition occurs in accordance with the requirements of the Bermuda Aviation Authorities, apparently, part of the aircraft is registered there, so it is their requirements that must be observed. Liquids for such cigarettes must be packaged as indicated above: no more than 100 ml. vial and in general no more than 1 liter per person in a transparent bag. Smoking electronic cigarettes on board the aircraft is strictly prohibited.

Animals - how to carry on an airplane?

All Russian airlines have strict rules for transporting an animal on board:

When buying a ticket and wanting to bring an animal, you must definitely call and inform the airline, they will tell you whether it is possible or not to carry your animal, and if so, what documents and certificates will be needed for it. You can call up to 48 hours before your departure.
If your animal is allowed to be transported, then it is necessary to collect all documents and certificates for it from the veterinary clinic
Before departure, no later than 3 hours, it is necessary to pass a veterinary control and register a pet for a flight

Also, each airline has its own nuances for the carriage of hand luggage, they can be found in the following articles:

And if you want to make sure you are not overpaying for air tickets, you can read the following article:

Write in the comments if you have any questions, I will try to answer everyone as soon as possible, as well as if there are additions and changes to this article that I did not write about or do not know about.

Be lenient in the issue of screening hand luggage and luggage, follow the rules of airlines, because first of all it is your safety in the cabin, so I wish you to take your magnificent step on board without any problems, have a good trip!

57 comments

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.

************************************************

Hand luggage on the plane

hand luggage- this is your unchecked baggage, things that you take with you on the plane.

Economy class ticket holders can take 1 piece of hand luggage on board, business and first class passengers 2 pieces each.

The allowable size of hand luggage, as a rule, is: 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm or 115 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions.

The allowable weight depends on the airline, type of aircraft and route, below are the allowable weights of one piece of hand luggage for some airlines:

Baggage, the dimensions and weight of which do not fit into these standards, is transported in the cargo hold.

Many have already heard that carrying liquids in hand luggage certain restrictions apply.

Liquids (including creams, aerosols and gels) may only be carried in hand baggage if they meet the following requirements:

The volume of containers containing liquids must not exceed 100 ml. (i.e. even if the liquid itself is only 50 ml., The container in which it is located should contain no more than 100 ml. To prevent disputes with the security service, it is recommended to use liquid containers (tubes, jars, etc.) with indicating their size).
All containers should be stored in one resealable transparent plastic container. The total capacity should not exceed 1 liter. (i.e. you can take 10 bottles with a maximum of 100 ml each)

You can read about special containers and bags for packing liquids in our post about luggage packing.

Medicines (provided that you have a prescription or a doctor's note with you) and baby food that you may need during the flight can not be placed in plastic packaging, but they must be presented to the security service. Be prepared to be asked to open baby food jars and taste the contents.

Goods purchased in Duty Free

When traveling within the EU: You can purchase liquids (spirits, perfumes, etc.) at Duty Free or on board all European airlines. The liquids you purchase will be packaged and sealed. If you are flying with a layover, you may not open sealed liquids until you have arrived at your final destination.

If your journey starts outside the EU and then you transfer to a connecting flight at an airport in the EU, then you can also carry liquids and gels purchased at Duty Free outside the EU.

Note! The authorities of some states, such as the Netherlands, prohibit passengers, when transferring to a connecting flight at an airport in the EU, to carry liquids purchased in duty-free shops outside the EU.

It is allowed to carry liquids purchased in Duty Free shops at the following airports in hand luggage:

All airports in Canada
All US airports
Kuala Lumpur
Singapore
Croatia: Dubrovnik, Pula, Rijeka, Split, Zadar or Zagreb

Items prohibited for carriage in hand luggage.

These items include:

Liquids, other than liquids in small quantities and packed according to the rules above
Animal products (dairy products, meat, cheese). This requirement does not apply to passengers departing from Switzerland, Andorra, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino and the Faroe Islands.
Weapon
blunt and pointed objects
Explosive, flammable, chemical and toxic substances

You can find the full list in our booklet.

In addition to hand luggage, you can take it with you to the cabin of the aircraft the following items:

handbag (including laptop bag);
coat, shawl, plaid or umbrella;
laptop, camera (a tripod is usually asked to be checked in, but some airlines allow you to take it in your hand luggage if its length does not exceed 60 cm when folded) or binoculars. You can read more about transporting a laptop on an airplane in the post “Can I take a laptop on an airplane?” ;
a reasonable number of printed publications to read during the flight;
baby portable cradle / chair or stroller weighing up to 10 kg.
crutches or other necessary orthopedic devices

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.

Fruits
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

Part 1 - Can I take food on the plane? Hand luggage on the plane.

It is clear that it is convenient for passengers to take in hand luggage as many things as possible that will be useful on the road. However, not everything that you want to take on the road is allowed to be carried on board the aircraft. Almost everyone will need not only a phone, but also a laptop, documents and other improvised items. But since there are a lot of people in the cabin, the place must be used compactly. Therefore, airlines have strict rules about how much and how much luggage can carry. And during the check before boarding, the check takes place according to certain rules, violating which it is just right not to get on the plane at all. There are things that absolutely cannot be transported. But, despite the strict requirements, you are allowed to take more things with you into the cabin than it might seem at first glance.

What is considered hand luggage during screening?

Passenger items related to the category of personal items are called hand luggage, and they are allowed to be carried into the cabin, and not checked into general baggage. Of course, companies cannot allow passengers to take on board everything that will be convenient for them during the flight, so there are clear dimensions and weights of acceptable items for transportation. The types of things carried are established.

How many bags will you be allowed to take with you?

Most often, one small bag is designed for one place. This is true for economy class tickets. In business class, the volume rules are not so strict, and you will be allowed to take two or more bags per person.

But the weight of luggage can vary greatly depending not only on the ticket class, but also on the airline itself. It is known that the weight is allowed 3-15 kg. Therefore, you need to prepare for this moment in advance, that is, specifically find out from your carrier.

The definition of one place is also different. For example, if you are flying on a low-cost airline, then outerwear packed in a bag is another extra piece of space. But in the first class as another place will not be counted. Note that the more expensive the ticket, the less restrictions on the size of hand luggage. This is understandable, because additional baggage must be paid for, so companies will not refuse to lose this money.

The general rules are as follows:

Things that are packed in one small bag and do not exceed the dimensions are considered as one piece of hand luggage;
if it is in one unit, then baby carriages, carriers, cradles and crutches are transported free of charge;
women's handbags and travel umbrellas are not considered as hand luggage;
Clothing packed in a bag during the flight, which a person will need when leaving the aircraft, is not considered a place, even if it has not been worn by a person during the entire flight;
magazines, newspapers and other printed materials go as hand luggage if the allowable weight is not exceeded;
if you take a bottle of water with you, the volume of which does not exceed a liter, then this will be hand luggage, which supplements the total weight;
for a separate place, goods purchased in duty free are not taken into account, but their packaging in a separate package is required, provided that they do not exceed the allowable weight and dimensions.

Often, baggage rules are written on tickets or given to the passenger in a separate booklet. If not issued, then be sure to find out this information on the company's website. In addition, there are racks at airports where all the baggage rules are written, so even before customs you can check the compliance of your things with the allowed standards. If your hand luggage exceeds the weight, then it is better to transfer the extra things to a suitcase that will go into the luggage. Pay special attention when you are flying on a short business trip and you only have hand luggage with you, because you can’t shift extra things anywhere. They can be left for storage at the airport or pay for excess.

So, the main requirements for transported items:

The average dimensions are 20x40x55 cm, or when summing up the width, height and length, the maximum can be 1 m 15 cm, such a small bag will fit in the compartment for travel backpacks over the heads of passengers or under the seat; Please note that low-cost airlines reduce the size of the bag even more;
weight is allowed from 5 to 10 kg, again, if the ticket is expensive, then the weight will be more, if it is a low-cost airline, then the restrictions will be tougher.

Now let's move on to hand luggage. What is considered hand luggage and what can I put in it?

What exactly will be allowed to take on board:

1. Documents. It is better to keep them with you at all, and not to hand them over to the general luggage.
2. Digital technology. It includes a mobile phone (it must be turned off in the cabin), headphones, gadgets, a laptop.
3. Medicines. Just in case, it is better to take a certificate from a doctor and a prescription. Medicines in liquid form should be in containers with a maximum volume of 100 ml. If you need to take more than this amount of medicines on the way, then a certificate will come in handy for this.
4. Food that does not have a strong odor and does not cause gas. If it has a liquid consistency, then it is poured into jars, the volume of which does not exceed 100 ml. The total volume of all liquids is allowed 1 liter.
5. Baby food. When a baby under the age of two years old is flying with you, it is allowed for him to take baby food in liquid form, with a volume of more than 1 liter.
6. Jewelry and decorations.
7. Personal hygiene items. Here you can also take a razor and an electric razor. Shampoos, gels, toothpaste, creams should be in containers no larger than 100 ml.
8. Goods purchased in "duty free" in the package.

Now let's talk about what kind of food you can carry on the plane.

Most often, such a question arises when a ticket is bought in economy class or at a promotional offer for a lower price, since in this case the passenger can purchase food for a fee. But if you are allergic, then the situation is already more complicated. In this case, it is better for the passenger to take something with him for a snack. Take fruits, vegetables, cookies, bread, cheese and the like. Cut bread and fruit at home in advance, as doing this on an airplane is extremely inconvenient.

Can I take sweets in hand luggage?

Sweets and chocolate are allowed to be transported, but they must be packed in their original packaging, where the markings and identification data are clearly visible. Customs does not pay attention to the stuffing. Therefore, taking sweets with liquor, no one will seize them from you. But keep in mind that with such sweets, you are unlikely to go through customs quickly. Therefore, it is better to take regular sweets with you. There are no rules regarding the weight of candies, but check with your carrier for this information, as they may impose restrictions on different types of products.

Sweets can satisfy your hunger or cheer you up during a flight, so you can always put such sweets in your hand luggage.

In order not to get into trouble, before flying to another country, you should familiarize yourself with what restrictions are in place in food in different countries.

In the EU countries there is a restriction on the import of dairy and meat products. After all, they quickly deteriorate, and pathogenic bacteria quickly multiply in them, and these processes can cause infections. An exception will be ready-made milk formulas for infants. Fish can be brought in.

In addition, they will not be allowed to import meat and dairy products (smoked meat is also prohibited). They will allow you to bring condiments, canned food, sweets, cookies, chocolate, olive oil, dried fruits, hard cheeses, packaged tea and coffee, nuts, pasta.

Durian will not be allowed to be exported from Thailand, as it has a specific smell. Other exotic fruits are allowed to be exported. Note that fruits can only be bought at duty free shops to carry on the plane. Meat for import is prohibited.

The UK will not let a passenger carrying products of animal and vegetable origin that are listed in the Red Book, or only with permission to import these products.

It will not be possible to import some fruits, meat and meat products in any form into Israel. But you can import alcohol.

In China, everything is very strict. If some prohibitions are violated there, then the death penalty will be the punishment. In this regard, approach the issue of importing products as seriously as possible. Some vegetables and fruits, products of plant and animal origin are banned from import. Food from countries where the epidemic is broken is strictly prohibited.

Before a flight, many passengers, especially if a long stay on the plane is planned, are interested in and, if so, which one. Not always and not on all flights during the flight will be fed. And if the flight is made with a child, then he will need to be reassured somehow so that there are no problems in the cabin. A natural question arises - is it possible to take sweets in hand luggage?
