Power banks aren’t allowed in the check-in luggage because they contain lithium cells and they have a tendency to combust. Though, you can carry around a power bank in your hand or even put it in your hand-baggage.

2. Tools



Any kind of mechanical tools aren’t allowed on flights. They can be used to physically hurt or threaten people or even destroy the airport/airline’s properties. Make sure you check that your bag doesn’t have even a tiny screwdriver.
