There has recently been a steady increase in passenger numbers and the expectation is for it to continue increasing throughout the spring and summer. If you will be traveling for work, vacation, or finally visiting family and friends via air travel &#8212; there are a few tips you can follow for what type of dangerous goods you are allowed to bring on a passenger aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I would firstly like to point out that certain countries\u2019 airport security may impose additional restrictions based on the type of dangerous goods or amounts allowable. I encourage you to always check with the airline about your goods before your travel, especially if you do not have a copy of the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/iata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IATA regulations<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Some dangerous goods are allowed to be carried on board in limited quantities such as cell phones and laptops with lithium batteries, alcoholic drinks, perfume, and even spare batteries. In the event of an accident with these types of dangerous goods, the crew can assist with carry-on baggage whereas in cargo they cannot. Here are a few examples of the types and amounts of dangerous goods you may carry with you on an aircraft.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Alcoholic beverages that do not exceed 70% alcohol by volume, in a receptacle not exceeding 5 L (must still be the original retail packaging);<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A maximum of two lithium spare batteries for your electronic devices are permitted in your carry-on;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Batteries that have watt-hour (Wh) ratings are allowed between 100 Wh and 160 Wh;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Lithium metal batteries with a lithium metal content between 2g and 8g.
