How to carry a computer on an airplane

When flying, you can carry your computer in a computer bag, or you can put it in your carry-on luggage, or put it directly in your luggage and check it in. If you want to carry your computer on the plane, you need to take it out separately and place it on the luggage tray for inspection during security check.

In order to speed up security checks, do not put CDs, external USB flash drives, wireless network cards and other hardware devices into the optical drive of your laptop when traveling on an airplane. It is also best to separate the power supply and mouse from the computer and place them in the luggage tray for centralized inspection to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

There are generally no strict regulations on the number of computers that passengers can carry on domestic flights, but there are certain requirements for computer batteries. The lithium content of electronic products' batteries must not exceed 2 grams, and the rated energy value of lithium-ion batteries must not exceed 20,000 mAh.

What can't you bring on the plane?

1. Inflammable and explosive items: lighters, alcohol, paint, fireworks, etc.

2. Food: milk, pickles, seafood, tropical fruits with strong aroma, fermented bean curd, honey, shrimp paste and other gel-like foods.

3. Crafts: Shell crafts, fruit knives, axes, hammers and other dangerous tools.

You can carry a limited amount of cosmetics, gels, and sprays on board the plane. The volume of the container cannot exceed 100ml. Shampoo and shower gel are not included.

Passengers on domestic flights can carry liquid items on board with a single container volume not exceeding 100ml and a total volume not exceeding 1000ml.

Power banks that do not exceed 100wh can be brought on board, and one person can only carry two power banks at most. Mobile phone batteries are not allowed to be carried alone, but batteries installed in mobile phones are not affected.

Is there any discount for flying with student ID?

There is no discount for flying with a student ID card, and the student ID card cannot be used as a valid ID card for flying. Students with student ID cards can enjoy preferential treatment for taking trains, buses, and traveling. Train tickets are 25% off for hard sleeper tickets, 50% off for hard seats, 25% off for second-class seats and no seats on trains, and 50% off for some tourist attractions.

There are designated dates for student ID cards to travel: winter vacation from December 1st to March 31st of the following year, and summer vacation from June 1st to September 30th.

The student ID card is an identity document issued by the school to students. The student ID card is for personal use only and may not be lent to others.

Within the prescribed time each semester, students must go to the relevant office with their student ID cards to complete registration procedures, and their ID cards will only be valid after being stamped with the "registration stamp".

How to buy air tickets for children aged 12 or above

Children who are 12 years old or older can directly purchase adult tickets in the same way as adults. If a child who has not applied for an ID card but is 12 years old or older can purchase tickets online with the ID card number on the household registration booklet, they only need to bring the original household registration booklet when boarding the plane.

According to civil aviation regulations, infants and children under the age of 12 can purchase infant tickets and children tickets when traveling by plane.

Infants under two years old will be charged 10% of the adult fare and will not be provided with a separate seat.

Children aged 2 to 12 (based on the departure date) will be charged 50% of the adult fare and provided with a separate seat.

Are there any restrictions on checked lotions on airplanes?

No. There are no clear restrictions on liquid items (except alcoholic items) in airplane baggage check-in, as long as the total weight and volume of the luggage do not exceed the limit. Generally speaking, each economy class passenger can check in luggage weighing no more than 20 kilograms for free, the free baggage limit for business class passengers is 30 kilograms, and the free baggage limit for first class passengers is 40 kilograms.

When checking in alcohol, the packaging of the alcohol must be fully and clearly labeled. When the alcohol content is less than or equal to 24%, there is no limit on the checked quantity. When the alcohol content is greater than 24% and less than or equal to 70%, the total capacity of the alcohol must not exceed 5 liters.

Everyday knives such as fruit knives, scissors, and utility knives (blade length greater than 6 cm), as well as professional knives such as carving knives, scalpels, and planers (blade length is not limited) must be approved by the airline before they can be checked in as baggage.
