What to and not to bring in the check-in and carry-on baggages!

For first time travelers, most of them are clueless about the things that they could and could not bring at the airport to avoid conflict while checking in their baggage. We don't want to spend extra time explaining to the authorities that we need to bring this and that, right? and as much as possible, we don't want to throw away our important things because they are not allowed in the airport. 

So here is the list of the things you can bring for check-in and carry-on baggage:
