Important Considerations

  • Security Checks: Be prepared to remove the clear bag containing your ghee from your carry-on luggage at security checkpoints for inspection.
  • Variations: While the guidelines are generally consistent, it's a good idea to check with your specific airline or airport for any additional requirements or restrictions.
  • Checked Baggage: If you need to take a larger quantity of ghee, it is advisable to pack it securely in your checked baggage. Always make sure that there is no chance of it leaking and that it is properly wrapped.
  • Seal-Packed: If you are travelling internationally the reference does specify that the container must be seal-packed. If the container is not seal-packed, it could be at risk of confiscation by security.

These guidelines aim to ensure a safe flying experience while allowing passengers to carry small amounts of essential items. Always be respectful of security staff and follow their instructions.
