The baggage when you board an airplane is divided into "Checked Baggage (Checked Baggage)" that you leave with the airline at the check-in counter and carry it in the luggage room, and "Baggage carry-on baggage" brought in by the rider himself.

In Japan, for safe flight operations of aircraft, we define the dangerous goods as "a thing that can burn easily, harm other people or damage other property" by the aeronautical lawProhibited bringing in and keepingdoing. It looks like this when it is simple. Although the handling of some items may be different, it is the same as overseas in that no knife etc can be brought in.


According to the statement released today by the Transportation and Safety Agency, this severe restriction has been partially alleviated and "a folding knife with a blade width of 2.36 inches or less than 6 cm and a blade width of less than 0.5 inch (1.27 cm)", "novelty Toy bat in size "Billiard's cue" "Ski Stock" "Hockey stick" "Lacrosse stick" "Two golf clubs" will be brought in the plane.

This seems to be an effort to increase security by security guards concentrating on threats such as explosives.

This policy will be effective from 25th April 2013. Until now, there was a case where even a small cutter would be stopped, but if it becomes a new policy it will be all right without having to organize the stationery compartment in detail. Sports officials may find it easier to move a little.
