The end of 1999 will bring the dawn of a new century. Don't spoil your trip or risk the safety of others by taking fireworks on your holdiay air travels. Your airline, travel agent, and the FAA remind you that fireworks can be a great danger in the air. Don't take them with you on the plane. Don't take them with you at your seat and not in the luggage you check for pickup when you arrive at the end of your air travel.
Fireworks are a real danger to all aboard a plane.
They can start a fire just by rubbing against something else. Sending fireworks by air falsely marked as clothes, tools, books, or cookies is against the law and very dangerous. That's because airline workers can't know how to safely handle wrongly marked fireworks, talk to your airline about how to do it safely.
