You need to keep in mind certain security requirements while packing your baggage for the trip and when you go to the airport to board to your flight: information regarding the possible options, methods and the pricelist.
- You are not allowed to carry certain things with you through checkpoints at airports,
- You can not carry certain things on the plane, even in your baggage,
- You and your baggage will be under security control before the boarding.
Your baggage, locked, marked with a label or a pendant with your name and address, do not leave unattended until baggage check-in at the passenger registration counter. We appeal that taking over and handing over someone else’s baggage as your own is very risky because you might be in a situation where you expose yourself to danger or legal responsibility because of the things in it. It is not allowed to carry items in the baggage that are classified as dangerous substances.
Some airline companies do not allow the transport of devices or gadgets that use lithium-ion batteries in hand or check-in baggage (such as hover board, mini-segway, air wheel or baggage scooter). Certain electronic devices that use lithium-ion batteries, such as a mobile phone, can only be carried in a hand baggage, under condition they are turned off and that they are not charged while traveling by plane.
It is strictly forbidden to leave baggage unattended at the airport!
