WE CAN’T GIVE YOU THE WHOLE LIST OF BAGGAGE RESTRICTIONS HERE IS WHY.
Would it be possible to provide me with a comprehensive list of baggage restrictions and current destination advisories?
Airline Specificity for Baggage:
Rules Vary Widely:
Every airline has its own specific rules and regulations with baggage size (dimensions), weight limits (for both carry-on and checked), and the number of bags allowed. These also often differ based on fare class (Economy, Business, First), frequent flyer status, and the route (domestic vs. international, specific destinations).
Prohibited Items:
While there are common global restrictions (e.g., explosives, firearms, large liquids in carry-on), specific items like certain batteries, e-cigarettes, drones, or even oddly shaped items (round bags on some airlines) can have unique airline-specific rules.
Dynamic Changes:
Airlines frequently update their policies, especially regarding fees for oversized overweight bags, or new security requirements.
Dynamic Nature of Travel Advisories:
Constantly Changing:
Travel advisories are highly dynamic. Geopolitical events, natural disasters, health outbreaks (pandemics or localized epidemics), security threats, and even major public events can cause advisories to change daily or hourly.
Issuing Authority:
Advisories are issued by individual governments for their citizens.
A “Level 3: Reconsider Travel” the U.S. State Department differs in wording or specific recommendations from a “High Degree of Caution” from the Canadian government or “Avoid Non-Essential Travel” from the UK. While often similar, they are not identical.
Specificity within Countries:
Advisories often distinguish between different regions within a single country (e.g., “Avoid all travel to X region of Country Y, but exercise increased caution in the rest of Country Y”).
Health Advisories:
Separate health advisories (e.g., from WHO or CDC) exist for disease outbreaks, vaccination requirements, etc, and are constantly updated.
