Australian airlines Jetstar and Qantas ban kids’ travel accessories

All those travel accessories that claim to help kids sleep on long-haul flights may become a thing of the past after airlines added them to their list of dangerous goods. Australian airlines have added kids' sleeping devices to their list of prohibited carry-on items, saying that they are a safety hazard. Qantas and Jetstar, which have the same dangerous goods policy, have banned popular travel accessories including bed boxes, leg hammocks and inflatable cushions. "Examples of prohibited in-flight accessories include, but are not limited to, inflatable cubes, 'bed boxes', and 'leg hammocks'. This list is not exhaustive, and the decision to permit use of a particular device rests with the cabin crew on-board," Qantas said. <br/>
