Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, fabric flags and banners are generally allowed in both carry-on and checked baggage without restrictions. However, you must ensure that the dimensions of the item comply with your airline's specific carry-on size limits. For exceptionally large or heavy banners, the airline may require you to check them as oversized luggage or pay additional fees.

The material and length of the banner poles are key factors during security screening at the airport. Long, rigid metal or plastic poles may be restricted by security as they could be perceived as potential weapons. It is highly recommended to pack any long or sharp mounting hardware in your checked baggage to avoid issues at the security checkpoint.

No, standard textile banners and flags are not classified as dangerous goods under international aviation safety regulations. As long as the item does not contain flammable liquids, integrated batteries, or hazardous chemicals, it is considered safe for transport. Passengers can carry these decorative items freely without needing special hazardous material documentation.

To keep your banner clean and dry, we recommend placing it inside a protective plastic sleeve or a dedicated garment bag. To minimize wrinkling, you can roll the fabric tightly or fold it neatly and place it on top of your other belongings in the suitcase. If the banner has metal grommets or heavy attachments, ensure they are padded so they do not snag or tear the fabric during transit.
