Flights to Korea: Checked Baggages & Carry-ons

What's allowed on board and what's not? Here's the guide to items not permitted on international flights. If you're flying to Korea soon, make sure to read the list of items you can't bring on board or check in before you head to the airport.

You might be surprised to know how everyday items can cause unexpected danger on a plane. For your safe travel and smooth security screening, make sure to review items that are banned from both carry-on and checked baggage. You might wonder, "Who would bring this on a trip?" but many of these items are often caught during security checks. ❌ Fireworks, crackers, and other explosives ❌ Insecticides, pesticides ❌ Gas canisters, sports sprays ❌ Bleach, paint, etc.

Some items can't go in your carry-on but are okay in your checked luggage. Double-check before you pack! If you're bringing any liquid beauty items to freshen up during your stay in Korea or box cutters just in case, make sure to pack them in your checked luggage. ❌ Box cutters, scissors, knives ❌ Tools, ice skates ❌ Baseball bats, golf clubs ❌ Liquids over 100ml

You'll need a portable battery for your phone, but don't put it in your checked bag! Batteries pose a risk of explosion, so they must be carried in your hand luggage. Only batteries up to 160wh are allowed. Laptops can be checked if turned off, but wireless earbuds cannot be checked as they can't be powered off. ❌ Portable batteries ❌ Spare lithium batteries ❌ E-cigarettes ❌ Wireless earbuds ❌ Lighters, matches (1 per person)
