Ryanair's Scissor Rule: What You Need to Know

0:00Stay informed in two minutes or less, with Lester News today from the Daily News Now. Ryanair has a clear rule for flyers packing scissors in their carry-on bags. Blades longer than six centimeters, measured from the pivot point, are not allowed in the cabin. They count as sharp objects that could cause injury, so they must go unchecked luggage instead. This rule popped up in a recent Reddit thread, where a traveler asked if nail scissors and razors really get confiscated at security. People shared mixed experiences from different airports and countries. Some Redditers said small clippers and nail scissors are usually fine, as long as the blades stay under that six centimeter limit. Others warned that rules vary by location, like one story from Turkey, where manicure scissors got tossed. Ryanair spells it out on their website, listing sharp pointed items as no goes for hand luggage. Smallest scissors for sewing or crafts often pass muster if protected properly. Travelers should always double check airline policies before packing, since rules can differ.
