Most of us understand what’s off-limits when it comes to bringing items on a plane as carry-on baggage. After all, knives, lighters and non-duty-free alcohol are no-brainers. But what about candles and tweezers? Or Singapore’s favourite fruit: durian? While you might think they’re not allowed, these items actually have few or no restrictions when flying. Here are some more that may surprise you!
