If you’re planning a getaway, there’s a lot to remember. Your passport, insurance documents and flight times are all very important, not to mention the process of going through security.

In the rush of getting ready for a trip, it’s easy to just chuck things into your suitcase without thinking about it, but there are a few items that should never ever be packed into your luggage. Aside from the usual items that everyone knows can’t be packed, like aerosols and lithium batteries, something as simple as food can cause havoc for baggage handlers. One of these baggage handlers posted on Reddit begging passengers not to pack food in their checked bags.

He said: “They rot, break or leak, open. It smells, especially alcohol. Then I smell all day after picking up a bag that leaked.”

They added that perfumes and colognes are the same – so if you’re picking up something in the duty free make sure it’s properly wrapped to avoid any mishaps.

Another thing that should never ever be packed in your checked baggage is a little less intuitive. If you have medication you need to take, it might seem sensible to put it in your checked bag to keep it safe but this is a huge no no.

If you need medication, it’s best to keep it in your hand luggage to ensure you can access it immediately if you need it. It also eliminates the risk of this medication being lost if the airline manages to misplace your bags.

Finally, if you’re hoping to bring some high-strength spirits with you, remember that anything over 70 percent alcohol, including grain alcohol and 151-proof rum, is prohibited in both checked and hand luggage, so best leave the strong stuff at home.

When it comes to items that shouldn’t be packed in your hand luggage, there’s one thing that has been stirring up a discussion on social media. One travel TikToker shared her trick for getting an açaí bowl through airport security by freezing it beforehand.

The clip, which has over one million views, has stirred up a debate among viewers, with one puzzled user commenting: “Wait, how did you get this through security?”

However, Netflights expert Amanda Parker has warned that attempting to take frozen liquids through security checks is not only futile but could lead to your food being seized.

“According to official government guidelines, you’re not allowed to carry frozen items in your hand luggage,” Parker pointed out. “Even though this açaí bowl is frozen, it’s still considered a liquid and security will treat it as a liquid.
