Can I carry a power bank in SalamAir cabin baggage?
Yes — power banks are allowed ONLY in cabin baggage (never checked-in). Per DGCA's 11-November-2025 advisory, you may carry up to 2 power banks per passenger. Each must be ≤100 Wh for unrestricted carriage; 100-160 Wh requires airline approval; >160 Wh is banned. Store them in your seat pocket or under-seat personal item — NOT in overhead bins. In-flight use is banned, including charging from aircraft USB ports. A 20,000 mAh / 3.7V power bank equals 74 Wh, so it's permitted.
How many liquids can I carry in SalamAir hand baggage?
Per BCAS rules, each liquid container must be 100ml or less, all containers combined fit in one transparent 1-litre resealable bag, and one bag per passenger. This applies to water, perfume, shampoo, gel, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Exceptions: baby food/milk in reasonable quantities; prescription medicine with prescription; duty-free liquids in a Sealed Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) with receipt. Water bottles bought after security are allowed onboard.
Are keys allowed in hand luggage on SalamAir?
Yes — house and car keys are allowed in both cabin (hand) baggage and checked baggage on SalamAir and all Indian flights; they are not a restricted item. The only exception is a keychain multi-tool or keyring with a blade or sharp point longer than 6 cm, which must go in checked baggage, not the cabin.
What items are not allowed in SalamAir hand (cabin) baggage?
Prohibited in cabin baggage on Indian flights (per BCAS): sharp objects with a blade or point over 6 cm (knives, scissors, box cutters), tools such as screwdrivers, hammers and wrenches, sporting bats and cue sticks, firearms and ammunition, flammable liquids and aerosols, and most lighters and matchboxes.
