The following medicines can be carried on board the aircraft: — tablets; — various drops; — dressings; — hydrogen peroxide.

Although it is not forbidden to take a mobile phone with you, it may not be useful to you during the flight. Often, before takeoff, phones are asked to be turned off altogether, because they can interfere with the operation of the aircraft’s electronic systems. If you are going to take bulky equipment with you, remember the norms. Usually, the length of items in hand luggage should be no more than 56 cm, height — 45 cm, width — 25 cm.

— expensive jewelry; documents; — valuables; — a purse with money.

Any dry cosmetics can be brought on board: — shadows; — mascara; — pencils for eyes and lips; — blush; — powder, etc. Liquids, jelly-like substances in jars and vials with a volume of more than 100 ml are strictly prohibited to be transported on board the aircraft in hand Put it down. Pack them in a luggage suitcase, otherwise you risk being left without your expensive jars. It is also impossible to use pressurized cans on an airplane. Therefore, you will have to get rid of shaving foam and deodorants. Remember that usually the total volume of liquids should not exceed 1 liter. therefore, if you take water with you besides lotion and shampoo, and their total volume exceeds the permissible one, think about what will be more important for you on board. - Personal hygiene items
Personal hygiene items can be taken in hand luggage: — toothbrush and toothpaste (although you need to clarify about the latter – it is forbidden to take pasta with you at some airports);— wet wipes; — a shaving machine; — a comb without a sharp handle (sometimes it is forbidden to carry metal combs); — acetone-free nail polish remover with a volume of no more than 100 ml. It is strictly forbidden to take only piercing and cutting objects in your hand luggage, for example, manicure sets (especially scissors). - Clothing
Experienced travelers recommend taking a sweatshirt with you. It may be cool in a light T–shirt or blouse – it is usually hot in the cabin during landing, so air conditioners can be turned on after takeoff. You can take with you to the salon: a sweater or a sweater; a coat; a plaid; a shawl. Additionally, you can carry a handbag, an umbrella and a cane. - Other
If you are traveling with children, you can take on board a portable baby cradle or stroller in addition to hand luggage. It is not forbidden to take newspapers, magazines and other printed publications with you (without fanaticism, of course). It is strictly forbidden to take with you in your hand luggage: — weapons, and everything that looks like them (if you have a fashion accessory in the form of a grenade or a pistol, they can be taken away); — stabbing and cutting objects (everything is included here, even what you would not think of using as a tool to hurt another person, for example, knitting needles); — animals; — gas canisters; — toxic substances. The full list of prohibited items is often indicated directly on the ticket. If this list is not there, ask this question right at the airport. Clarify the rules regarding dimensions, they vary for each airline. Low-cost companies are particularly serious about this issue. Budget airlines have a strict rule: one person – one piece of hand luggage. Therefore, everything will have to be put in one bag or bag.
