I'm using TSA as a reference because its prohibited item search tool is quite simply awesome, as opposed to the EU list of prohibited items which is IMHO purposefully generic and vague.
I have carried carabiners in hand luggage before. I never had problems with them. Usually security staff don't even look at them. I use full size carabiners as keychains, and always have an extra one hanging from my backpack in case I need to hang something there. However, a luggage full of quick-draws might raise a few eyebrows. As an authoritative reference, TSA says that carabiners can be carried in both hand and hold luggage :.
Climbing rope should be fine in hand luggage. I fail to see how it could be construed as a sharp, dangerous object. TSA seems to agree with me :. The nut tool itself could even be considered a blunt weapon. This is just plain old chalk so it should be fine in hand luggage. Climbing chalk is made primarily of magnesium carbonate which is non-toxic and non-flammable. As always: go for checked-in luggage if you're unsure and, most importantly, not prepared to have all the gear thrown away by security agents.
Personally I would not risk losing all my carabiners, quick-draws, nuts, hexes, cams, and tools the day I'm leaving for a rock-climbing trip.
These answers were from the responsible department of the airport and the person in charge also absolutely knew what they were talking about in terms of climbing gear so I would be willing to trust this info.
In theory the rules should also be the same throughout Europe. However YMMV and at another airport and other staff might see things differently so as has been pointed out by JoErNanO it would be sensible to have a back-up option i.

Ask Question. Asked 5 years, 7 months ago. Active 3 years, 6 months ago. Viewed 13k times. Can I bring rock climbing gear such as quick-draws climbing ropes nuts, hexes, cams, friends, etc. I am looking for answers that either base on personal experience or sources that can be checked.
Improve this question. The weight limit for cabin baggage is 10kg, so it would be risky to bring 10kg of equipment in addition to clothing, toiletries, the bag itself, and so on.
I've carried carabiners in my hand luggage. I use them as keychains. Chalk and ropes should be fine. Excellent tagging work on this question by the way. Larger cam devices, larger nuts especially if you carry them clipped together with a biner like your photo would fall into the same category as hammers, brass knuckles, etc - blunt force weapons. Not sure how you would get all the hardware plus two ropes in under Ryan Air's carry on limits. As a lay person, the only thing that can be immediately used as a weapon is the nut tool and I would be surprised if that were allowed in your carry-on.

You may bring certain types of deodorants in your carry on. If your deodorant is liquid, i. The same rule applies to perfumes, which are liquids, so if you want to travel light only carry-on luggage , make sure your perfume fits the ml requirements.
Solid deodorants on the other hand are permitted both in your carry-on and your checked bag and do not follow the ml rule, so if you are bringing stick deodorant, you can take one in any size. Tweezers, razors and scissors are, on the whole, allowed on planes. Straight razors are the only item that you cannot bring in your hand luggage, as they could be potentially weaponized. In addition, your scissors' edges should be less than 12 cm long. Most airlines would allow knitting needles in your hand luggage and the airport security personnel would be aware of this.
Under FAA regulations US-based companies allow musical instruments on board if these are small enough to fit in the luggage compartment or under the seat in front of you. If you are flying in Europe, our recommendation would be to check with your airline in advance. In some cases, smaller instruments for example a violin are allowed on board and considered a piece of your hand luggage.
A flute can also easily fit in your carry-on, yet if you are travelling with a guitar or a cello, check before you head to the airport. Here is a checklist you can use when packing your carry-on and your checked luggage. Note that we have also included a section including items you should leave at home as they are banned both on board and in the cargo hold.
Small portable electronic devices like mobile phones, tablets and standard sized laptops are allowed on planes. Larger electronic devices, such as laptops, video game consoles, DVD players, need to be screened individually at security checkpoints. Tweezers, razors, nail clippers, and scissors with blades which measure less than 12 cm from the pivot point. Inhalers, insulin or blood-sugar testing kits, being aerosols or liquids, must be declared for individual screening.
Breast milk, baby formula, liquid-filled teethers, processed food are permitted on board if a baby is travelling and do not need to meet the ml restriction. Items that are NOT allowed in your carry-on: Pack these in your checked luggage. Nerf guns, BB guns, and their ammunition Firearms - packed securely in a hard-sided case Pepper spray and mace spray - allowed in checked luggage if equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge.
Box cutters, large scissors, tent spikes, knives are allowed in your checked baggage if they are securely wrapped. For the number of bottles allowed, check with your airline or confirm the country limits. Items NOT allowed in carry-on or checked luggage: Leave these at home. Alcoholic beverages over proof, such as grain alcohol, are not allowed on board or in the cargo hold. You are allowed to bring liquids and gels, but they need to meet a few restrictions.
All of your liquids need to be in containers, smaller than ml 3. Fortunately, some companies offer travel-sized toiletries: shower gels, shampoos, toothpaste and more. If your favorite product is not offered in smaller containers, you could always transfer some of it in a bottle, smaller than ml. Even spray or gel deodorants need to be under ml in size. Duty-free alcohol that you buy from the airport is on the list of products allowed on airplanes.
Remember to leave the receipt inside the security bag with the red border provided upon purchase. If security staff want to screen the content and you have a connecting flight at another airport, you would have to ask for a new bag.
But all in all, how much liquid you take in your plane hand luggage will depend on how well much you want it and how well you can pack it into that 1-liter plastic bag for toiletries. Under airline rules, passengers are allowed to take a lighter or a pack of safety matches with them onboard. In fact, these items are not allowed in your checked luggage. The reason why you can have a lighter onboard is that passengers are not allowed to take any flammable items with them.
This makes any lighters and matches effectively harmless. This is why the following items are prohibited in your carry-on baggage, as well as in your hold luggage: lighter fluid all Zippo users would have to buy extra fluid at their destinations , flammable paint, fuel, gasoline and aerosol cans.
You do not have to empty the fuel of your Zippo or conventional lighter beforehand, however. If you are going camping, you would have to empty your portable stove in advance and purchase fuel when you arrive. And while we are on the subject of camping, make sure you leave out any sharp tent parts such as tent pegs as they will not be allowed in your hand luggage. According to airplane carry-on luggage rules, any object that could be used as a weapon or imitates a weapon would not be permitted in your cabin luggage.
This includes firearms, rifles, BB guns, nerf guns or their ammunition, among others. You could have these in your checked luggage, however. If you are taking real firearms, you will have to secure and declare them at check-in. You will have to pack the weapon and its ammo in separate, hard-sided packages. To be safe, make sure you review the gun laws of the country you are visiting. Other self-defense items such as pepper spray, mace, and tear gas are subject to similar restrictions and are on the list of items not allowed in hand luggage.
Many sports items including baseball bats, cricket bats, golf clubs, archery equipment, martial arts items, and others can be as dangerous as the other weapons we listed above. If you would like to bring any sporting equipment with you, please check it before departing. Alternatively, you could rent any equipment you need after you arrive. In our experience, this will sometimes even be the cheapest option.
Most batteries are allowed only in your carry-on luggage. You are also allowed to bring any spare batteries for your portable electronic devices, including lithium batteries used in cell phones, laptops, and ebooks. In fact, you cannot check any lithium batteries in your hold luggage. In addition, car batteries, jump starters, and power banks cannot be checked in, and are prohibited in your hand baggage. They can potentially be very dangerous and are therefore restricted by most commercial airlines.
