HandOrHold gives you instant carry-on and checked baggage verdicts for 225+ common travel items, covering rules from 14 countries. No sign-up, no ads, no fluff.
Each item is researched against official aviation security guidelines from the relevant national authority — TSA for US, CASA for Australia, and so on. We cross-reference IATA and ICAO standards for regions where local guidance is sparse.
Verdicts are one of three values: Yes (allowed), No (prohibited), or Depends (allowed under specific conditions, such as size limits or quantity restrictions). Each verdict includes a plain-English note explaining exactly what the condition is.
Where rules differ meaningfully between regions, a diffNote banner highlights the key difference so you can spot it at a glance.
Rules are sourced directly from each country's civil aviation authority. Last verified May 2026.

Security rules change. While we do our best to keep information current, always verify with your airline and the relevant authority before travel — especially for borderline or unusual items.
Individual security officers have discretion. An item permitted by policy may still be confiscated if an officer judges it to be a risk.
Airline policies can be stricter than government security rules. Always check your specific carrier for items like sporting equipment, oversized items, and lithium batteries.
