What shouldn t I pack?
Obviously there are certain items that shouldn’t be packed in your luggage for safety reasons. Details of the items that cannot be carried in baggage on flights can be found on the back of your flight tickets. The Merchant Shipping Act also prohibits the carrying of certain items on the ship without prior authorisation from the relevant supplier, including: • All firearms and ammunition, sporting weapons, replica firearms and explosives of any kind. • Knives and other sharp bladed weapons. • Flammable substances (petrol, methylated spirits, paint thinners etc). • Items containing incapacitating substances that could be used to maim or disable. • Any other item made, adapted or intended for use as an offensive weapon.
