Proper planning is the key to a smoother travel experience at the airport. It’s essential to know what you can – or cannot – pack in your carry-on and checked baggage.

Aviation baggage policy aside, it’s also worth noting that many countries have restrictions on what travellers can bring in, and also out, of their respective borders. These could include things like food, pets and medications.
