TRAVELING soon? Whether you’re jetting off for business or leisure, packing smart isn’t just about what you bring—it’s also about what you leave behind.
Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has issued a reminder to all travelers: certain items are strictly prohibited, no exceptions.
✈️ The no-fly list: Items you must leave at home
According to NAIA’s latest advisory, here are the items you should not include in your luggage—checked or carry-on:
- Guns, bullets, and bullet amulets
Even if they’re meant for display or spiritual protection, these are a big no-go. - Lighters, flares, and firecrackers
Anything that could ignite or explode poses a safety hazard on board. - Toxic, flammable, or corrosive chemicals
These are not only dangerous in a pressurized cabin—they’re often illegal to transport. - Replica weapons or self-defense tools
That stylish bullet keychain or stun gun might seem harmless, but it could land you in hot water.
🧳 Why it matters
Airport security isn’t just about following rules—it’s about ensuring everyone’s safety. Items that seem innocent can cause unnecessary delays, missed flights, or worse, legal trouble.
So before you zip up your bag and head to the airport, take a moment to review what’s inside. Better safe than sorry!
