You can't bring weapons (guns, knives, stun guns), explosives (fireworks), flammable liquids/solids, corrosive substances (bleach, acids), disabling sprays (mace, pepper spray), large quantities of certain inorganic powders, or hoverboards/e-scooters with lithium batteries on planes, in either carry-on or checked bags, as they pose safety risks; items like sharp tools, certain sporting goods, and large aerosols are restricted to checked luggage only. Always check your airline and local aviation authority (like CASA) for specific rules before flying.
Prohibited items: Firearms, flammables, sharp objects (like knives and large scissors), martial arts gear and tools over 7 inches are not allowed. Restricted liquids & spreads: Beverages over 3.4 oz and spreadables (like peanut butter) are limited.
Toiletry and medicinal articles
Permitted as carry-on or checked baggage. Toiletry and medicinal articles include aerosols such as hair sprays and deodorants, flammable liquids such as hand sanitiser, perfumes and medicines containing alcohol are permitted.
Corrosives such as acids, alkalis, mercury and wet cell batteries and apparatus containing mercury. Explosives, munitions, fireworks and flares, ammunition including blank cartridges, handguns, fire works, pistol caps.
Portable chargers or power banks containing a lithium ion battery must be packed in carry-on bags. Spare lithium batteries, which include both power banks and phone chargers, are prohibited in checked luggage.
You cannot take any of these items as hand luggage or in the hold:
Charging cables and plug-in adapters don't contain lithium batteries, so they're permitted in both carry-on and checked bags. Most travelers prefer hand luggage for easy access during layovers or flights. Just pack them neatly to avoid delays during security screening.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) doesn't ask you to keep your medicines in their original prescription bottles. But each state may have its own rules. If you aren't bringing your medicine in its original bottle, bring a copy of the prescription or a letter from your doctor.

But here's the good news: empty water bottles of any size are allowed through security. Whether your bottle is plastic, stainless steel, or glass, TSA agents will inspect it to ensure it's empty. Once you're past security, you can refill it at a water fountain or hydration station.
Most airlines allow passengers to bring power banks in their carry-on luggage, but not in checked baggage, due to the risk of fire caused by lithium-ion batteries. The capacity of the power bank is also typically limited to 100 watt-hours or 27,000mAh.
We recommend packing all liquids, gels, and aerosols that are over 3.4 oz or 100 ml in your checked baggage, even if they are in a secure, tamper-evident bag. Liquids more than 3.4 oz or 100 ml not in a secure, tamper-evident bag must be packed in checked baggage.
In addition to screening personal electronic devices separately, including laptops, tablets, e-readers and handheld game consoles, TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate other items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine ...
(WZTV) — Travelers in the new year should be ready for tighter enforcement of carry-on luggage rules, and a new option for those without a standard ID. Most airlines now limit carry-on bags to 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches deep, wheels and handles included.
The Most Frequently Detected Prohibited Items in Airport Baggage Checks
You can bring a portable charger on a plane if it is packed securely in your carry-on luggage. You cannot pack chargers in check-in luggage. Battery components can cause fires in the wrong conditions, and flight crews can respond to a fire in a carry-on bag faster and more efficiently than a fire in the cargo hold.
But, the list of items you cannot bring on a plane is too long to cover in its entirety here. Firearms, ammunition, and fireworks are prohibited, as are all knives and safety razors (including pocket knives and Swiss Army knives). Straight razors and replacement blades for straight razors are also not allowed.
Only liquid medications (not pills) need to be in a clear bag. Medications don't count towards your limits so pack them separately. As long as you have a doctor's prescription, you can take any liquid medications, even those that are more than 100mls, in your carry-on luggage, but they must be in a clear ziplock bag.
During travel
Travellers should carry a copy of their prescription together with a covering letter from their doctor. If supplies are needed whilst abroad, a pharmacy or health care provider should be consulted for advice.
Keep laptops and electrical items, such as hairdryers, inside your hand baggage. Place outer clothing inside the tray, and put your bag on top. We may ask you to take off shoes and belts. Keep any liquids (up to max 2 litres per container) inside your bag.
The TSA and FAA limit portable charger battery capacity to 100Wh; anything higher may require airline approval and could be rejected at security. You can use portable chargers during flights but must turn them off during takeoff, landing, or turbulence, and only use wall chargers if your seat has a power outlet.
EVA Air, Thai Airways, VietJet, AirAsia, Starlux, and Tigerair now prohibit in-flight charging completely. ANA and Japan Airlines require power banks to remain visible rather than stored overhead, while Lufthansa allows them onboard but does not permit mid-flight use.
