Tips for travelers: how to carry gifts on the plane

Before the New Year is a little more than a week, for sure, you have already planned how to spend the holidays, and, of course, purchased the most unusual gifts for loved ones.

We will tell you about the rules of carrying gifts on the plane, so that your trip goes smoothly and without unpleasant surprises.

1. Packaging

Before putting gifts in luggage or hand luggage, make sure they are securely packed. It is best to use strong boxes or packaging material to avoid damage during transportation.

2. Size and weight

Remember that even unusual baggage must meet the size and weight limits set by the airline. Before travelling, make sure your luggage meets these requirements to avoid extra charges or check-in issues.

3. Liquids and limitations

If your gifts contain liquids, gels, creams or other similar products, remember the rules for carrying liquids in hand luggage. There are usually limits on the volume of liquids (usually up to 100 ml per container) and their packaging in a transparent plastic bag.

4. Customs regulations

If you are traveling abroad, be sure to check the customs regulations of the country you are going to. Some countries have restrictions on certain goods.

5. Special rules for gifts

Some airlines have special rules for carrying gifts. For example, if you buy a gift at the Duty Free store at the airport, you may need a special package or purchase check to carry the goods in your hand luggage.

Follow our tips, pack gifts securely and check all the rules with your airline. Have a nice trip!
