Tin of sweets in hand luggage

Can you carry a 1kg tin of sweets in hand luggage or will it have to go in the hold.Might be a stupid question but i wasnt sure.

  • As long as you are in your weight limit for the hand luggage there should be no problem. Only difficulty I can see is if they contain something like nuts or honey that aren't allowed into some countries but processed food is usually fine.

    Can't see any problem - unless they've got liquid centres?! ;)

    No liquid centres,just a tin of Quality Street.I am trying to make room in the case for them but thats going to mean removing something and i aint sure what i can do without.

    You will be fine, as said, as long as within the hand luggage wieght and size limits.
  • I'd be inclined to take out some clothes and put them in my hand luggage as being lighter and then put the tin of sweets in the hold luggage :)

    You want to be careful there... The strawberry roses have liquid centres and sharp-nosed airport security officials may well question them.

    Though of course that would be the perfect excuse to wolf down the tin's entire strawberry content in one go. Yum...
