The TSA are those mean-looking folks that scan your hand luggage with the x-ray machine at the security checkpoint and they also screen and search checked bags behind the scenes. According to the TSA, you are not permitted to bring strike-anywhere matches on a plane in either your carry-on luggage or your checked luggage. Strike anywhere matches are prohibited because they can occasionally ignite while in transit. While any fire on a plane could be serious, a fire in the baggage hold could be catastrophic.
Strike anywhere matches are also restricted in mail too because they are a hazardous material and classed as dangerous goods. Safety matches are the type of matches that only spark when you strike them on the specially prepared striking surface. But all matches are clearly highly flammable, so even safety matches are banned from checked baggage.
In the luggage hold there will be nobody around to put out a fire so matches of any kind are not allowed. The Federal Aviation Administration has decided that safety matches are okay to bring on planes in small quantities.
So passengers can bring one book of safety non-strike-anywhere matches in your carry on baggage. You can also have a book of safety matches in your pocket. So there was a discrepancy. So I decided to try to find out more about the quantity of matches permitted to be brought into the cabin. Be mindful of keeping any documents in your checked bag—originals or copies—that contain personal data such as social security numbers or banking information. Strike-anywhere matches are prohibited.
Disposable and zippo lighters without fuel can be brought in carry-ons and up to two fueled lighters can be packed in checked suitcases if enclosed in DOT approved cases.
E-cigs and vape pens must also be taken in your carry-on, and never packed in checked baggage. If your checked bag happens to feature a built-in charging port, as some bags do these days, the charger must be removed before checking your bag.
When traveling internationally and even to Hawaii, there are some foods you should avoid bringing. Travelers to Hawaii must declare all plants and animals with some items requiring additional inspection.
Pineapples, coconuts, corn, and coffee plants are restricted along with other items that might be disruptive to Hawaiian agriculture. Creamy cheese, liquid chocolate, liquid coffee, are subject to the ml restriction when transported in the cabin. So are hummus, ice cream, jam and jelly, juices, syrup, oil, peanut butter, and yogurt. Bottled water, bread, candy, gum, cereal, solid cheese, solid chocolate, coffee beans or grounds, pizza, energy powders are allowed in both cabin and checked bags.
The same goes for cooked meat, seafood, and vegetables. Snacks can also be packed in both types of bags, including cookies, crackers, dried fruits, pies and cakes, sandwiches.
It is recommended to pack canned food in the hold luggage rather than the carry-on baggage because of how they appear on the X-ray machines. While you can also bring fresh meat and seafood, and frozen food in your carry-on, the restrictions simply make it easier to pack them in your checked luggage instead. Airbrush makeup machines, curling irons with cord, breast pump, solid deodorants, electric razors, pillows, sewing machines, tampons, toothbrushes, and vacuum robots can be brought in either bag.
The same applies to cell phones, desktop computers, laptops, tablets, printers, iPods, radios, DVD players, extension cords, video game consoles, selfie sticks, and speakers. Bottle openers, forks, graters, utensils, clocks, license plates, coat hangers, corkscrews with no blade , duct tape, flashlights, LED lights, light bulbs, screwdrivers shorter than 7 inches, staplers can also be placed in either hold luggage or a carry-on.
Baby powder are allowed in both cabin and checked bags. Considering that powder-like items greater than ml must be placed in a separate bin at the security checkpoint, it's recommended to pack them in the checked bags instead.
Items that contain a blade, such as blenders and other multi-tools are allowed in the cabin only if the blade has been removed. Deodorant aerosol and liquid , liquid detergents, hand sanitizers, lotion, must be placed in smaller containers that do not exceed ml when placed in the cabin bag.
Medical items that can be packed in both carry-on and checked bags but are subject to restrictions :. Some of them are subject to the liquid and gels restrictions: contact lens solution, eye drops, liquid medications and vitamins. If their original containers are larger than ml, they must be placed in smaller containers.
Other medical items, such as inhalers and liquid medications, are allowed in larger amounts than ml, but must be declared for inspection to a TSA officer. External medical devices attached to your body must be declared to a TSA officer before the start of the screening process.
Depending on whether or not they can be submitted to X-ray machines, you may or may not be required to go through additional screening. Medical marijuana and some cannabis-infused products remain illegal under some federal laws. Make sure you declare those items to TSA. Medically necessary personal oxygen cylinders can be brought to the security check and into the gate area, packed into your carry-on luggage.
However, they are prohibited in the cabin, so you must ask the airline whether they can arrange oxygen service. According to the TSA, many do not provide such a service. It is recommended to place sharp objects in your checked bag. However, some sharp objects are also allowed in the cabin, usually under restrictions. Crochet hooks, knitting needles, sewing needles, disposable razors, lock picks, nail clippers, pencil sharpeners, and tweezers are not subject to restrictions. Cigar cutters are generally permitted but TSA recommends to pack them in your checked bag instead, or leave it at home if you're traveling without one.
Box cutters, darts, ice axes, ice picks, kirpans, non-plastic knives, pocket knives, swiss-army knives, razor-type blades, sabers, swords, saws, meat cleavers, and throwing stars can only be placed in checked bags.
Sports equipment is best transported as hold luggage, but some items can be packed in your carry-on. Balls footballs, basketballs, baseballs, etc.
Air mattresses with built-in pump can be brought in the cabin, as long as they do not exceed dimensions an weight restrictions, just like skateboards, tents, and umbrellas. To transport a bicycle, you should check your airline's policy first. The same applies to parachutes, as they require you to follow special instructions.
Insecticides in the form of aerosols are only allowed in checked bags, provided that they are not labelled HAZMAT hazardous material. Baseball bats, bowling pins, canoe and kayak paddles, cricket bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, snow cleats, and similar sporting equipment can be used as bludgeon and as such, can only be transported in a checked bag.
They are not allowed in the plane's cabin. Bow and arrows, martial arts weapons, spear guns, hiking poles, snow spikes, shoe spikes, ski poles, tent spikes and poles must also be placed in a checked bag.
Baby items such as baby carrier, baby wipes, and child car seats are allowed on the plane. Cosmetics and toiletries are also allowed, keeping in mind that liquids and gels should not exceed ml per item and should fit in a transparent, resealable bag.
You can also pack belts, clothes, shoes, blankets, electric blankets, body armor, electronic toothbrushes, hair dryers, hair straighteners, hookahs, and tobacco in both checked bag and carry-on, as well as binoculars, books, flowers, plants, and headphones. It is recommended to transport cremated remains in a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic, which does not generate an opaque image during screenings.
Security officers will not open the container. Fun fact: you can even bring your Harry Potter wand and light saber. The TSA website says so, no joke. The FAA forbids passengers to place electronic cigarettes and vaping devices in their checked luggage. Those can only be carried in the cabin of the plane. You can also bring your live fish from vacation with you in a carry-on. Not sure exactly how, considering that you're not allowed to bring liquid containers that exceed ml, but in theory, you can.
