COVID-19 has placed heavy restrictions on traveling abroad. But there are now more passengers on domestic flights. Compared with international flights, domestic flights have fewer luggage restrictions. But there are certain basic regulations in place to ensure safety in air travel. Lighters, e-cigarettes, and power banks can't be put in checked baggage. They must be carried on board. There are also limits to the number and amount you can carry. This is because an emergency response is impossible if these items explode in the cargo hold of an airplane.
Fertilizer cannot be checked or carried on board, because it contains chemicals that might cause an explosion. Finally, shart obejects and tools are all prohibited items on planes.
