- Wrapped form cheese is allowed in a carry-on bag. We wouldn't recommend packing a super stinker in your checked luggage. The average 750 ml bottle of wine exceeds the 3.4 ounces liquid rule so you can't carry it on but you will likely be able to check it depending on alcohol content. The TSA permit up to five liters per person of alcohol with an alcohol content that is between 24 percent and 70 percent in checked luggage if it’s packaged in a sealable bottle or flask. Most wine clocks in around 15 percent ABV.read moreiStockShare
- Solid food items like fresh fruit can be transported via carry-on or as checked luggage. But if you're bringing along a large fruit basket, it will likely be subject to additional screening and note that it will count as your "personal item. Jams and jellies are considered liquids so if your container is bigger than 3.4 ounces, carefully wrap it and check it in your luggage.read moreiStockShare
- But all other tools -- including hammers, saws and drills-- must be checked. Screwdrivers, wrenches and pliers must all be less than seven inches in length.

- Unlike many hazardous flammables, traditional lighters are permitted in carry-on luggage. E-cigs can also be carried on the flight. But don't even think about checking either of these potentially hazardous items. Lighters have been banned from checked luggage for years and the government recently did the same with e-cigs, citing new research that the smoking gadgets were responsible were starting fires.read moreiStockShare
