The Civil Aviation Authority has published a leaflet highlighting advice on travelling safely by air. Tips included are keeping your seatbelt fastened, listen to the safety briefing and do not take fireworks or flares on board.

CAA advice leaflets don't provide enough information

Better passenger advice

All very useful information but common sense. I am sat here scratching my head wondering if this was a waste of money and could they have created a leaflet to advise passengers of their rights should their flight be cancelled or delayed or on holiday financial protection.

I do think that passengers should make sure that they should behave on flights, and I can see that the airlines have problems with a small percentage of passengers but I do think that a more useful leaflet could have been created.

Download the leaflet

Not that impressed to be honest, come on CAA, get with the times, there’s more important advice you should be informing passengers of. Feel free to download the leaflet and leave your thoughts in the comment section.

The information you want from the CAA is available from the consumer section at;

I am devastated. I don’t know what to do. I always travel with at least two full car batteries – and what about all my weedkiller? I just won’t know what to do……

@ Murray

Hahah yes, my thoughts exactly.

@ Nick

Thanks for the link, will bookmark it, my semi-rant was more about the lack of useful advice in the CAA leaflet, i.e. what do if your delayed or flight is cancelled. While I am sure they will be a small number of passengers who try and travel with a car battery or dangerous goods, the advice was pretty basic and common sense.
