What can you take on a plane with you? What needs to be stowed in your checked luggage? This can be a difficult question for people who aren’t intending to check any luggage, or trying to figure out what they can bring with them and what will be confiscated. We all know large bottles of liquids are forbidden, but what else?
Sports equipment is not allowed on a plane. In fact, Tony Hawk has found that skateboards are not even permitted as carry-on luggage.
As far as bringing gel products, you’re better off checking them. Gel sole inserts are a no-no, but shoes with built in gel soles are permitted. Gel candles are strictly forbidden.
And while it’s fairly obvious that you can’t bring a gun onboard, you also can’t bring anything gun-like, including a T-shirt with a picture of a gun on it, as one passenger recently discovered.
When in doubt, put it in the checked luggage. The restrictions are fewer than what they were a year ago, but there are still a whole lot of items that could get you in trouble in the security line.
