Just printed off the latest P&O luggage label for my Feb cruise and there is a prohibited items drawing of a suitcase with a pair of scissors therein which I’ve never noticed before 🤔 This throws the debate open I guess 😳😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagaris Posted January 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2023 As far as I am aware scissors can only be taken in hold luggage. The luggage labels can be used on hold or hand luggage. Molly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to nail scissors or Wallet Ninjas? The latter are not listed but as far as scissors are concerned, all airlines we have travelled with state that scissors with blades of more than 6cm must be carried in checked baggage. So, if you've had nail scissors seized then you have been unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Pugwash Posted January 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 27, 2023 That reminds me of the sign i seen on the Azura years ago when entering through Security a list of items you were not allowed to bring onboard, the usual guns, knives, explosives but further down the list it made me laugh No Chainsaws allowed onboard. So if you were thinking of taking a Chainsaw better not don't want to get into trouble do you. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you and Devon say.....a picture of scissors in the little suitcase denoting prohibited. Never noticed that before. They are relatively big scissors, so they may actually be garden shears. I think I will pack ( not actually me ) only nail scissors and leave the gardening to the P&O team. Also there are No scissors diagrams on the bottom corners of the luggage label. Ooo er. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesni Posted January 28, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Hi, I've just printed out my labels. The 'no scissors' logo is to warn you not to cut the label. It also says 'DO NOT CUT' in the written instructions. For a list of prohibited items, check with your airline.

nightfires Posted January 29, 2023 #18 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Recently flown to Tenerife and on check in was asked about lithium batteries and I said does my electric toothbrush (Braun electric) count. The response was “yes it must go in your hand luggage not the hold”. Thankfully it was a fairly simple switch as it was near the zip but even the assistance person was shocked it went in cabin baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
