If you have visited our website and are now reading this article, it means that you are soon planning to fly to us on the island of Hainan, relax in the sunny city of Sanya, chic Boao, business Haikou or the tropical part of the island, meditating on the springs or in the mountains. Or maybe, on the contrary, you return home with suitcases full of gifts and souvenirs and don’t know how many charging batteries (Power bank) you can take with you.

Before flying, of course, you should always check with your chosen airline about the rules and regulations for baggage and hand luggage, as each airline may have its own exceptions.

What can you take on board a plane in hand luggage:

1. Unless additional security measures are introduced, liquids with a total volume of 1 liter in 100 ml packages are allowed in hand luggage. Liquids include: water, drinks, creams, lotions, aerosols, gels, foams, pastes, etc. Cosmetics (mascara, lip gloss) are also liquids. But know that if your 200 ml shampoo bottle is half filled, then you cannot transport it. The exception is baby food needed by the child during the flight.

2. Aeroflot has recently allowed the carriage of small-sized devices for personal transportation on lithium batteries: unicycles, Segways (mini-Segways), hoverboards, hoverboards, electric scooters, but in a certain order. The lithium-ion battery must be removed from the device itself and carried separately in hand luggage, and the hoverboard itself (or other small personal mobility devices) must be checked in with luggage, but the main thing is that the power of such a battery does not exceed 160 watts per hour. If you have a built-in battery, then you cannot transport it this way; you must register the cargo with the airline as dangerous. It is also important to call the airline and report that you are carrying this device, they will tell you exactly what needs to be done with it, at least in Aeroflot and many others Russian airlines there is such a rule.

3. Valuables: documents, jewelry, equipment (phones, laptops). I’ll tell you even more, be sure to take these things with you and not leave them in your luggage. Protect yourself from unnecessary frustration and wasting time looking for your things, after all. You never know, one of the loaders will accidentally open your luggage and decide that “what’s dropped is gone” =)
4. Medicines that you will need during the flight. But when going through security, they may require you to prove that you will actually need these medications in the salon. Otherwise they may be confiscated. People with diabetes who may need insulin injections on the plane should have a certificate so that in case of questions, they can prove the need to have your medications on board the plane.
5. Baby cradle.
6. Crutches, which are absolutely necessary for the passenger to move (and not “I’m just taking a friend home, otherwise he’s pulled a ligament”).

7. Portable charger (Power bank). Such batteries can ONLY be taken in hand luggage. You cannot put them in luggage! If you check a Power bank in your luggage, you will have to turn your bag inside out at the airport to find and change it. All Russian and foreign airlines adhere to this rule.
I came across a situation where, in my presence at customs, people had their power bank taken away from them because there were no stickers indicating the battery power. Therefore, before going to the airport, I check whether the markings are present on my device, otherwise it has suddenly been erased. It is prohibited to carry on board an aircraft a power bank whose power exceeds 20,000 mA.
Always try to monitor the charge of your devices, because... At customs you may be asked to turn on your device. If it is completely discharged and does not work, they may decide that it is just a dummy and will be forced to say goodbye to it.

8. The following items with lithium batteries: phones, laptops, video cameras, watches, players, portable medical devices with a battery capacity of no more than 100 Wh. Such devices and equipment can and should be carried in hand luggage. And for other devices with a lithium-ion battery power exceeding 100 Wh, permission from the airline itself is required for transportation on the plane.

In addition to hand luggage and your luggage, you can take one copy of all the following items and items for free (i.e. one person can carry all this in addition to their hand luggage without paying):

• handbag or briefcase;
• folder for papers;
• umbrella;
• cane;
• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• printed materials for in-flight reading;
• cell phone;
• camera;
• camcorder;
• laptop;
• suit in a suitcase;
• folding wheelchairs 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.

All listed items are not presented for weighing and are not subject to registration.

It is prohibited to carry dangerous objects and substances in the aircraft cabin and checked baggage: weapons, flammable substances and liquids, liquefied gases, explosives, toxic, radioactive, poisonous, caustic substances. This is obvious and does not raise questions. In hand luggage, you cannot carry piercing and sharp objects, which include seemingly harmless household items: a corkscrew, a metal file and nail clippers, scissors, tweezers, a straight razor, a folding knife. All this must be checked in as luggage. For example, an electric razor or a razor with replaceable units is allowed to be carried in hand luggage, and nail files are soft with rounded edges.

Animal products are NOT allowed on quite a few airlines. It could also be animal fur, Ivory, bear bile and much more.

Since March 2009, it is prohibited to import dairy and meat products into the territory of EU countries in checked luggage and hand luggage.

According to the rules, you can bring food with you, but it is not advisable, unless it is purchased at the waiting area for boarding the plane, after checking tickets and passport control. But many people bring a treasured sandwich or chocolate on board the plane. But be prepared for the fact that you will come across a hungry customs officer who will decide to keep your “Alyonka” for a short-lived memory (just kidding!).

It is PROHIBITED to carry strong-smelling fruits (for example, durian) or exotic fruits from different countries of the world that have themselves established such a rule (for example, jackfruit in China and India) in either hand luggage or checked baggage.

All current information about the rules for carrying hand luggage is posted on the websites of airports and airlines. Therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant situations at the airport, if you doubt “whether it’s possible to carry my samurai sword in your luggage,” then don’t be lazy and check with the airline you’re flying on.
