Hi! Is there any weblink where there is clarity about luggage contents?
1.Some say that snacks items like chiwda, laddoo and all are not allowed in Cabin ( Carry On Baggage) & some say its ok to bring it on (where as some say its allowed in 23kg Luggage). Whats the Truth for Canada?? Because for countries like New Zealand, Food items are completely banned.
2. No liquid above 150ml content. This is for Cabin baggage or for 23 kg Luggage?
3. Since we all know, apart from 23kg BAggage, Cabin bag upto 7kgs is allowed & also a Laptop bag. Now, is it mandatory to carry a Laptop IF YOU ARE CARRYING a Laptop bag or can you fill it with clothes and stuff?

Thank you !

Hey :D
I have very general yet maybe useful answers.
1. Food items are allowed in cabin baggage as well as check-in luggage. The type allowed in cabin luggage depends on how liquidy is the food. In check-in , bindaas carry ladoos n chiwdaas. I can not say about pickles .
2. Usually it's 100 ml allowed in cabin , which is the quantity imprinted on the container even though the bottle is half-full. Carry howmuchever u want in check-in luggage. What type of liquids are still restricted( in cabin/check-in), yet to find that.
3.If there's no lappy in the bag, then your bag sans the laptop would be counted as the only 7 kg allowed cabin baggage. If you have a laptop then you can carry an additional 7 kg cabin baggage over n above this. Girls get to carry a hand bag in addition to the lappy bag n cabin bag . You might want to try that :p

Source of above info: Lufthansa Airlines.
Although Airlines will give the most accurate info, if anyone else experienced something different than the abovementioned things, correct me.

Hi,
Ok..so Lufthansa says the same too. I hope they allow me also sans the laptop because I have already bought a laptop from Canada and not buying it here(the price there was quite a steal!!).
@ Monish, let me know if your laptop bag is screened!!

take it ..no issues should arise ..as they dont even check whether u have a laptop or not ..but it depends ..in Brussels i was asked that if i have a laptop i need to take it out and put it under the scanner at the security check or else m good..they even asked me to take out my dslr out of the bag and put it under the scanner at the security check..different countries have diff rules

No 150 ml is not allowed in hand baggage, only liquid of 100 ml printed on the bottle will be allowed.
