    Barbara you can take in Christmas puddings if they contain vegetable suet. When Andrew was at university in America and not coming home for Christmas he wanted Christmas taken to him. We sent them an email with the recipe and were told it was okay to take in. I did have the recipe and email reply with me but did not have any problems. You are also allowed to take ONE box of Christmas crackers providing they have not been opened and are packed in your hold luggage.

    Jill I am aware you can take christmas puddings containing vegetable suet
    In your first posting you didn't say that
    [

    I have brought many a Christmas Pudding over with no problem
    Regarding Christmas crackers I was told by virgin you cannot take crackers on a plane in your hold luggage or hand luggage they contain explosives.
    Just goes to show how much conflicting advice you can be told [msnsmile2]

    I would tend to agree with you on the cracker front Barbara as it is an explosive no mater how small the quantity. I think it is just your luck on the day!

    The following is in the question and answer section of BA's website:

    Am I allowed to take Christmas crackers and/or party poppers on British Airways flights?

    Answer
    Christmas Crackers:
    Each passenger is allowed a maximum of two standard-size boxes of Christmas crackers.
    British Airways Dangerous Goods department prefers that the crackers are packed in your checked hold baggage, but will allow them in your hand baggage if necessary.

    The crackers must be made by a reputable company and be in the manufacturers original packaging.
    The crackers must be for personal use only and not for commercial use.
    No homemade crackers or kits are allowed on board the aircraft.
    Note: Any Christmas crackers taken on board aircraft must not be used during the flight.
    All items carried on board an aircraft must be made available for all security checks.

    Party poppers:
    Party Poppers are not allowed in hand baggage or checked hold baggage on any British Airways aircraft.

    When we flew with Christmas crackers it was only one box so if anything the rule has been relaxed. Really cannot understand why they will not allow party poppers on baord.
