Before you begin packing for your trip, please take a minute or two to review what you can and can’t take with you on your flight, so you can enjoy a smooth, hassle free journey – from check-in to final boarding call. ### Know the rules Regulations may vary by country, so **always check local airport restrictions and rules before you fly**, especially if you are transferring to another airline at any point in your journey. For flights departing from Canada, you can find a complete list of items which are federally restricted from being carried onboard our aircraft on the [Canadian Air Transport Security Authority External site which may not meet accessibility guidelines](http://www.catsa.gc.ca/breezethrough "Canadian Air Transport Security Authority") (CATSA) website. For flights departing from the US, visit [the website of the US Transport Security Administration External site which may not meet accessibility guidelines](https://www.tsa.gov/ "the website of the US Transport Security Administration") (TSA). ## Common restricted items Specific restrictions apply to the transportation of certain objects and substances in an aircraft. The amount or quantity of these items is precisely defined. If these amounts are exceeded, transportation will be prohibited. [Show all]() \| [Hide all]() ## Alcohol or liquor [Alcohol or liquor More info]() [Alcohol or liquor Less info]() Alcohol or liquor More info collapsed Alcohol or liquor Less info expanded ### In carry-on baggage Duty-free alcohol purchased after the security checkpoint is allowed in your carry-on as long as it is carried in a sealed duty-free issued Secure Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB). Alcohol brought onboard a Porter flight cannot be consumed on board. We offer free beer and wine as part of our inflight service, should you wish. Passengers travelling on connecting flights should be aware that the security bags are valid for a maximum of 48 hours. A receipt must accompany all purchases and the security bag must not be tampered with or opened prior to going through security at a transfer airport. ### In checked baggage Alcohol in unopened retail packaging purchased before a security checkpoint or homemade beer or wine, must be packed in your checked baggage. Homemade liquor is not permitted, as the alcohol content cannot be verified. ### Restrictions - Alcohol over 70% alcohol by volume (140 proof) is prohibited (including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum). - Up to 5 litres (1.3 gallons) of alcoholic beverages with alcohol content between 24% and 70% (140 proof) is accepted per passenger as checked baggage in its original retail packaging. - There is no restriction on the amount of alcohol you may pack in your checked luggage, provided it contains under 24% alcohol by volume (48 proof), such as beer or wine. ## Avalanche rescue backpacks [Avalanche rescue backpacks More info]() [Avalanche rescue backpacks Less info]() Avalanche rescue backpacks More info collapsed Avalanche rescue backpacks Less info expanded Avalanche rescue backpacks are not accepted on flights to, from or via the United States.

This process can take significantly longer than normal screenings as authorities may have to be called from off site, depending on the airport. For this reason, it is suggested that passengers allocate extra time for security screening when travelling with medical cannabis over the legal limit for recreational cannabis. Porter Airlines is not responsible for the delay caused by additional screening and will not compensate passengers who have missed their flights. ### Cannabis for recreational use Canada’s Cannabis Act came into effect on October 17, 2018. It remains illegal to travel across the border and internationally with cannabis (marijuana), and products containing cannabis, in your possession, regardless of whether you are going to or from a country or state with legalized use. Those travelling domestically within Canada are permitted to carry cannabis within the legalized personal possession limits (up to 30 grams). This is subject to requirements that may be introduced by authorities. When you are travelling within Canada, it is your responsibility to learn the laws of the province you are going to. Cannabis must be kept stowed in carry-on luggage at all times and cannot be consumed, rolled or otherwise exposed to the cabin or other passengers at any time. ## Mercury thermometers and barometers [Mercury thermometers and barometers More info]() [Mercury thermometers and barometers Less info]() Mercury thermometers and barometers More info collapsed Mercury thermometers and barometers Less info expanded Mercurial barometer or mercurial thermometer carried by a representative of a government weather bureau or similar official agency is permitted as carry-on baggage only as long as it is declared and approved at airport check-in.

We make packing easier with a list of items that you should be careful with and the ones you really should leave at home. ## What you can and cannot take with you Many common, everyday items that seem harmless could pose a hazard aboard the aircraft during the flight due to their chemical or physical properties that may be affected by changes in pressure and temperature. Before you begin packing for your trip, please take a minute or two to review what you can and can’t take with you on your flight, so you can enjoy a smooth, hassle free journey – from check-in to final boarding call. ### Know the rules Regulations may vary by country, so **always check local airport restrictions and rules before you fly**, especially if you are transferring to another airline at any point in your journey. For flights departing from Canada, you can find a complete list of items which are federally restricted from being carried onboard our aircraft on the [Canadian Air Transport Security Authority External site which may not meet accessibility guidelines](http://www.catsa.gc.ca/breezethrough "Canadian Air Transport Security Authority") (CATSA) website. For flights departing from the US, visit [the website of the US Transport Security Administration External site which may not meet accessibility guidelines](https://www.tsa.gov/ "the website of the US Transport Security Administration") (TSA). ...
