Whether a home rice cooker can be taken on board depends on the airline's regulations and the specifics of the rice cooker.
1.Airline regulations
According to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, there are two types of baggage carried by passengers:
Carry-on baggage:Each passenger is allowed to carry one piece of carry-on baggage free of charge, which must not exceed 5 kg in weight and 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm in size.
Checked baggage:Each passenger is allowed to check in one piece of baggage free of charge, and the weight and size limits are determined by the airline itself.
2.Whether the rice cooker is compliant with carry-on or checked baggage regulations
Volume and weight:Household rice cookers usually exceed the carry-on baggage regulations and therefore cannot be carried on board as carry-on baggage.
Power:Rice cookers usually have more than 100 watts of power, and some airlines stipulate that appliances over 100 watts cannot be carried on board as checked baggage.
3.Recommendations
Contact the airline to confirm:It is recommended that you check with your airline before you travel to find out the specific baggage rules and whether a rice cooker can be taken on board.
Choose another way to ship:If the rice cooker cannot be brought on the plane, you can choose other means of transportation, such as express or logistics.
4.Special circumstances
People with disabilities:Rice cookers that people with disabilities need to carry on board with the consent of the airline may bring them on board as carry-on baggage.
Baby Products:Rice cookers that are required for an infant to travel can be carried on board as checked baggage with the airline's consent.
5.Precautions
If the rice cooker needs to be checked in, be sure to pack the inner bowl and outer shell of the rice cooker separately to avoid damage during shipping.
Do not place any liquids or food inside the rice cooker to avoid leakage or deterioration.
Whether a home rice cooker can be carried on board depends on the airline's regulations and the specifics of the rice cooker. It is recommended that you contact the airline before you travel and choose the appropriate mode of transportation according to the specific situation.
