Does anybody know about flying on an airplane?

I need to know what you can and cant pack in your luggage to fly….
is it ok for me to pack my deodorant and eye mascara? or will they confiscate it?

go to the website of the airline that you are flying with and they should have list for you to look at

you can put pretty much anything in a suitcase, the problems are only to do with what you have ready accesss to on the plane itself (ie hand luggage). different airlines sometimes have different restrictions; go on their website and there should be information on there :)

nukes, dynamite, flamethrowers. But things that you would be more likely to pack, well, there’s not a whoole lot you can’t pack :) I’m pretty sure you can’t pack fruit or open foods in your suitcase. But if you’re taking it onboard with you, anything liquid, including things like lotion, sunscreen, medecine, has to be in a ziplock bag, or they’ll confiscate it

I’m pretty sure you can. you can, but it has to be in a plastic ziplock bag for most airports. But the rules might be different, I’m not sure.
I don’t think you can take drinks on at all tho anymore
