Check what is in your bags.
Everyday products can be restricted on aircraft because of their batteries, fuel, pressure or chemical content. Acceptance can depend on quantity, packaging and where the item is carried, and moving it from hand baggage to checked baggage does not automatically make it acceptable.
Batteries and electronic devices
Carry spare lithium batteries and power banks in cabin baggage and protect their terminals individually. Check the rating and condition of each battery. Ask Somali Airlines before travelling with larger batteries, unusual equipment or a battery-powered mobility aid.
Check these items before packing
| Item | What to do |
|---|---|
| Sprays and toiletries | Check quantity, packaging and airport liquids rules. A household chemical is not treated like a personal toiletry. |
| Sharp objects and sports equipment | Check security restrictions and airline acceptance. Pack approved checked items safely to protect baggage handlers. |
| Smart luggage | Tell us whether the battery can be removed, and provide its rating before travel. |
| Medication, needles and medical equipment | Check documentation and security requirements, and arrange any airline approval or assistance in advance. |
| Firearms, ammunition or replica weapons | Contact the airline before making travel arrangements. Do not bring them without confirming every legal and airline requirement. |
Ask before you travel
Send us the item's name, purpose, quantity and packaging, and for equipment, its model, battery type and rating. Keep any approval with you at airport check-in. Airport security and destination laws may impose additional restrictions.
