The online legal services company, reclamador.es, has issued a series of relevant clarifications for travelers regarding carry-on baggage and items that can be taken onboard an aircraft. The company highlights that, although some items are not explicitly prohibited, security personnel have the authority to deny access to the boarding area and the aircraft cabin if the item in question raises suspicion or doubt.
To clear up any doubts, reclamador.es has compiled a list of items that, although often cause uncertainty among travelers, are allowed in carry-on baggage. This information is based on the National Civil Aviation Security Program, approved in 2012 and updated in 2021. This guide is especially useful for those planning getaways in this month of September.
Among the items that can be carried in carry-on baggage are:
– Hair straightener, clothes iron, and hair dryer.
– Nail clippers.
– Disposable razors with enclosed blades.
– Electric razor.
– Lighter.
– Umbrella.
– Electronic watch.
– Tweezers.
– Spoon.
– Baby food such as infant cereals and sterilized water (may need to demonstrate authenticity).
– Medications and liquid medicines (subject to established liquid transport conditions).
– E-cigarette.
– Standard selfie stick.
– Hairpins.
– Small quantities of personal consumption food, excluding animal and dairy products, as long as they comply with the airline’s size and weight limitations.
– Crutches or walking canes, if needed for the person’s movement.
– Baby strollers.
– Cribs and baby seats.
reclamador.es emphasizes that this list is merely indicative. It is crucial to check the prohibited or restricted items in the destination country, consulting the respective embassy or airline. Additionally, it is reminded that for the safety and well-being of the passenger, medication should always be kept accessible in carry-on baggage, and crutches, canes, strollers, and baby seats must pass through the X-ray control separately.
Finally, Spain’s air safety regulations govern both passenger access and the items allowed in carry-on baggage in restricted airport areas. It is worth noting that, since each European country has its own security plan, some items may be rejected if local regulations so determine.
