Luggage Weight:
Be mindful of the airline’s weight restrictions for luggage. If your luggage exceeds the allowed weight, you must either remove some items or pay for an excess baggage fee according to the airline’s policy.

Avoid carrying excess quantities of butter (ghee) and edible oil, which should not exceed 500 ML.
