Depuis le 1er juin 2007, l’Organisation de l’aviation civile internationale (OACI) recommande que tous les liquides, gels, pâtes et aérosols jusqu’à 100 ml soient transportés dans un sac en plastique transparent et refermable d’une capacité maximale d’un litre. Les dimensions du sac transparent ne doivent pas dépasser 20 x 20 cm. Les récipients de plus de 100 ml ne seront pas acceptés, même s’ils sont partiellement remplis. Tous les articles doivent pouvoir être placés confortablement dans le sac en plastique. Vous êtes tenu de conserver séparément votre sac transparent de liquides pour les contrôles de sécurité.
Il n’existe aucune restriction sur les aliments pour bébés et les médicaments. Toutefois, vous devrez présenter un certificat médical pour les médicaments pris à bord.
Lorsque vous voyagez à l’étranger, il est recommandé de connaître les règles d’entrée et de sécurité de base de votre pays de destination en consultant les sites Web disponibles. Par exemple, si vous voyagez aux États-Unis, nous vous conseillons de consulter le site www.tsa.gov pour obtenir des informations détaillées.
Articles à ne jamais mettre dans un sac enregistré
Il existe de nombreux articles non dangereux ou interdits que vous pouvez transporter soit dans les bagages en soute, soit dans les bagages à main, soit sur votre personne. Toutefois, s’il s’agit d’un article difficile à remplacer, très cher ou nécessaire à votre santé et à votre bien-être, vous ne devez jamais le mettre dans un bagage en soute :
Articles liés à l’argent :
L’argent liquide, les cartes de crédit, les chèques de voyage, les carnets de chèques vierges, les titres et tout autre objet ayant une valeur monétaire doivent se trouver sur votre personne ou dans votre bagage à main. En cas de perte d’objets liés à l’argent dans vos bagages enregistrés, RwandAir n’est pas tenu de vous indemniser.
Bijoux :
Les colliers, bagues, diamants, autres pierres précieuses, or, argent, autres métaux précieux, montres de luxe et autres petits objets de valeur de ce type ne doivent pas non plus être transportés dans les bagages enregistrés. À l’instar des articles liés à l’argent, RwandAir n’est pas tenu de vous indemniser en cas de perte.
Ordinateurs portables et appareils électroniques :
Les ordinateurs portables, téléphones portables et autres petits appareils électroniques personnels doivent rester sur votre personne ou dans vos bagages à main.
Articles médicaux : Les médicaments prescrits, les autres médicaments et les autres articles médicaux doivent rester avec vous dans la cabine.
Autres articles :
Les petits objets de valeur, à peine remplaçables et coûteux, doivent être conservés avec le passager dans la cabine. Parmi quelques exemples figurent les passeports et autres pièces d’identité, les clés, les lunettes de vue ou de soleil, les photos, les films exposés, les billets, les œuvres d’art, les cartes d’embarquement, les bons de voyage, le courrier, les documents financiers, les documents commerciaux, les manuscrits, les objets de famille, les objets de collection, les jouets préférés, les dispositifs de stockage de données portables comme les clés USB et les logiciels. Les autres petits objets qui pourraient être perdus doivent être conservés avec le passager.
Contrôle des bagages de dernière minute :
Parfois, sur les vols complets ou presque complets, l’avion peut manquer de place et vous pouvez être obligé d’enregistrer votre bagage à main à la porte d’embarquement. Dans un tel cas, placez votre bagage à main dans un endroit qui vous permette de retirer rapidement les objets fragiles, précieux et essentiels (à conserver dans un sac plus petit que vous pouvez placer sous un siège) lors du contrôle à la porte d’embarquement.
