Which items are generally prohibited from carry-on on most TAP flights?

• A. Explosives, flammable liquids above limit, compressed gases, corrosives.
• B. Medicines
• C. Liquids under 100ml
• D. Books

Answer: (A)

Carry-on restrictions are designed to keep the cabin safe by preventing dangerous items from being brought on board. The most restrictive category includes items that can explode, catch fire, release toxic or extremely pressurized contents, or cause chemical burns. Explosives, flammable liquids above the allowed limit, compressed gases, and corrosives fall into this category, so they are not allowed in carry-on on TAP flights. These hazards could threaten everyone on board, so the rules prohibit them in the cabin, though some might be allowed in checked baggage under strict controls. Medicines are generally permitted in carry-on because they’re needed for health, and liquids under 100ml are allowed in the standard security liquid rule, so they’re not prohibited. Books pose no safety risk and are also allowed.
