Hand Luggage

As those of you who keep up with my blog know, I am heading over to Malta shortly to visit my lovely Mark. As such I received an email from the infamous Ryanair about what is and is not allowed in hand luggage; and, as it's my first time flying alone, I decided that I would actually take some time to read the restrictions. Mainly they were just normal "no weapons" kind of mentions, but then I reached the bottom where it said "items with internal combustion engines such as chainsaws". Chainsaws? Yes, chainsaws are apparently on the prohibited list.

Well, there go my plans for the flight!

Needless to say, I am distraught that I will not be able to take my favourite zombie killing implement with me to Malta. I mean, what if there's an outbreak of the T-virus on the plane? What then, dear readers, am I to do? Normally my main priority would be to protect the pilot, but it seems I'll be unable to do so without my trusty chainsaw!

It does leave me wondering though: did someone try to take a chainsaw in their hand luggage? I'd love to see the look on the member of airport staff's face at discovering a chainsaw in someone's bag. That said, how would it fit? Perhaps diagonally I guess, though even that'd be a struggle. Flammable substances are prohibited too, meaning no refills for the chainsaw even if you did manage to get it on the plane. And with the added prohibition of many other weapons - including: handguns, cross bows, axes, harpoons, night sticks and ice picks - the passengers on the plane will basically be screwed as far as avoiding becoming zombies is concerned.

Though I've moaned about zombie outbreaks, don't be fooled into thinking I expect there to be one. In fact, I applaud Ryanair's move towards promoting passenger safety and feel good knowing that there won't be anything sharp on the plane and that everything will be wrapped in bubble wrap... or perhaps that's going a bit too far? Still, I am thoroughly looking forward to my journey, even if I'm a little bit nervous.

I hope to post again soon, though the next few days may be a little hectic. Perhaps Saturday?

Have fun my dear readers.
