It can be difficult to keep up with the latest rules for what you can and can't bring. We've put together this list for some of the more common restricted items.

Common restricted items
|
|
Recalled batteries and devices - Lithium batteries recalled by the manufacturer/vendor must not be carried aboard aircraft or packed in baggage. Battery-powered devices recalled because of lithium battery safety concerns also should not be carried aboard aircraft or packed in baggage unless the device or its battery has been replaced, repaired or otherwise made safe per manufacturer/vendor instructions. The FAA and your airline may offer further public guidance on individual recalled products. Product recall information is available at http://www.cpsc.gov/recalls. Learn more.

Seat accessories - Devices such as footrests and child beds which attach to aircraft seats, fit between the seats, or block access to the aisle may not be used onboard. They may be carried on but may not be used onboard.

| International travel with powder-like substances (spices, coffee, powdered milk, etc.) - If you are entering the U.S. on an International flight, you are limited to 12 oz. (350 mL) of powder-like substance in your carry-on bag. Larger amounts may be allowed after additional screening. Powders over 12 oz. (350 mL) may also be placed in your checked bag. (Domestic flights and PPG-HNL flights are not affected.) |

In general, we will refuse transport for any items that, in our judgment, may be explosive, flammable, oxidizing, radioactive, infectious, noxious, corrosive, highly magnetic, biohazardous, or otherwise dangerous.
