4. Wrapped gifts

Don’t waste your time wrapping gifts for your loved ones as airport TSA could ruin your mood by unwrapping the presents you spent time packaging!

3. Smart luggage

Some airlines ban the use of smart luggage because they use lithium batteries, have GPS systems, electric locks and phone chargers. They may make an exception if the lithium batteries are removed, which defeats the purpose of having a smart bag all together!

2. Any Powders

Any powder-like substances bigger than 350ml (about the size of a soda can) – must be put in checked baggage and not hand luggage.

That includes powders such as cosmetics, spices, and coffee.

Baby formula powder, and essential medical powders are exempt after a second screening*

1. Snow Globes

If you picked up a nice snow globe as a souvenir to remember your trip, keep it in your main luggage as it’s not allowed on board your flight!
