Some Prohibited Items - You Can't Take Them Up the Plane
by: Gabriel Tan

Hi Caroline

here are some items passengers cannot take onto the plane:

1. firearms

2. explosives and pyrotechnics, e.g. fireworks, etc.

3. flammable material, e.g. kerosene, petrol, etc.

4. poisons, e.g. rat poison, insecticides, etc.

5. corrosive substances, e.g. concentrated acid, mercury, etc.

6. any other items that may pose a danger to the lives of passengers/crew or prevent the plane from operating properly.

As you can see, this list is not exhaustive. There are other items you may not take onto the plane.

As I'm not the official spokesperson of the airport authorities, I suggest you check with the CAAS personnel before you check-in for your flight.

Flower seeds in checked in luggage?
by: Anonymous

I'm a PR. I bought some flower seeds from a local super market in S'pore. And now I have to move back to my home country. Can I put the seed packets in my check-in luggage? Is it legal to carry those?

Hi there

The security at your departing airport likely won't bother you. Whether you can take them through customs at your destination airport depends.

Some countries - especially those with a large agriculture sector - are very strict with plants and animals and may not allow your seeds through. You're better off checking with your destination airport.

To ensure you take only allowed items with you, you should contact your origin and destination airports DIRECTLY. This thread is not an all-knowing, all-powerful authority on what you can and cannot bring through the airport.

As such, we'll stop answering questions about prohibited items at airports. This thread is now locked. Please do not add any further questions.
