In principle, dried squid is allowed on airplanes, but it must be transported as checked baggage and is not permitted as carry-on luggage. The reason is that dried squid has a distinct odor which, even when carefully packaged, can be unpleasant for other passengers in the confined space of the aircraft cabin.
However, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Package Carefully: To prevent the odor of dried squid from spreading, you need to package it very carefully. The best way is to use vacuum-sealed bags or airtight plastic containers.
- Airline Regulations: Each airline may have its own regulations regarding the transportation of food items with strong odors. Therefore, you should carefully check the regulations of the airline you will be using before going to the airport.
- Security Check: At the airport, security personnel will inspect your luggage. If they detect an excessively strong odor from the dried squid, you may not be allowed to bring it on the plane.
Advice:
- If possible, divide the dried squid into several small packages and wrap them carefully.
- You should transport the dried squid as checked baggage, and avoid trying to bring it as carry-on luggage.
- If you have any questions, contact the airline directly for clarification.
We hope this information helps you better understand bringing dried squid on an airplane. Have a smooth flight!
